Gateway ALR 9200 User Manual

Server Configuration: The EMP console requires that the server COM2 
port be connected to an external modem or directly connected to a serial 
cable.

Direct Connect Configuration: A null modem serial cable is needed. 
Connect one end of the cable into the COM2 port of the server and the 
other into a port on the client machine.

Modem Configuration: On the client, the EMP console uses the Windows 
application program interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected 
and available. The EMP Console does not configure the modem; it should 
be preconfigured through Windows.

For modem support, the server must use a Hayes-compatible 14400 bps 
modem. The modem must be on the NT hardware compatibility list 
provided by Microsoft. The server modem must be set in autoanswer mode 
for the EMP console to be able to connect to it.

To use the EMP, you must configure the BIOS with specific settings. Enter 
these settings in two submenus of the BIOS Server Menu: the System 
Management Submenu (“System Management Submenu” on page 94) and 
the Console Redirect Submenu (“Console Redirection Submenu” on 
page 94). The sections below focus on the settings that must be configured 
to use the EMP.

System Management Submenu

All EMP-related settings occur from the System Management Submenu of 
the server Main Menu. Change only the items below; all other default 
settings should remain the same.

EMP Password: Any time you attempt to initiate a connection, a prompt 
for the user password appears. If you never set up the EMP password, 
anyone can access the EMP by clicking 

 through the password prompt.

In the EMP password area of the System Management Submenu, type in a 
password of up to eight alphanumeric characters. If the system beeps, the 
password was not accepted; you must enter a different password.
