Setting up remote modem or serial access
To configure remote modem or serial access:
1 From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager
(PEM).
2 In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.
3 If you want to require a password for remote access, enter the
password in the Enter New Password box and in the Verify New
Password box.
Passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters long, using any ASCII
character in the range [32-126]. To clear the passwords, leave both
boxes blank. (You can also clear the password by choosing Clear
LAN Password from the Options menu.)
4 In the Modem Ring Time box, enter the number of 500ms intervals
that the BMC should wait before taking control of the COM2 port
and answering an incoming call.
A value greater than zero gives the BIOS time to answer before
the BMC takes control. A value of zero causes the BMC to answer
immediately. The maximum value, 63, tells the BMC to ignore the
call. Modem Ring Time applies only to Preboot access mode and is
ignored for other access modes.
5 In the System Phone Number box, enter the number for the phone
line connected to the modem on the EMP.
6 From the Access Mode list, choose the remote access mode:
• Subnet Mask The IP address for the server's subnet. The
server uses this to decide if the alert
destination is on the same subnet.
• Always Active The EMP is available at any time.
• Preboot The EMP is available only when the server is
powered down or is in the running POST
during startup.
