19.4.4 Remote Access Configuration
This remote access system is an AMIBIOS feature and has nothing to do with the Kontron JRC
Remote Control Extension BIOS. The following information describes the differences:
 The AMIBIOS Remote Access feature always sends output data to the specified serial
port when enabled. It is not possible to use the port for other devices during the time this
feature is enabled. On the other side of the serial connection, a system with terminal
software can be used to display the BIOS output information, enter setup, and configure
BIOS settings. Terminal software settings and the remote-access configuration setting
have to match to establish a working connection between the host and slave. See the
configuration settings in the table below.
 The Kontron JRC Remote Control software only becomes active when a JRC connection
is detected during the first steps of the boot process. This allows users to have other
devices connected to the same serial port instead of the JRC connection - without output
affecting them. On the other side of the serial connection a DOS- or Windows- based system
running the JRC host software is required. For configuration settings and functional
description read the technical manual of the JRC software.
