66 Configuration Software and Utilities
Modem Configuration: On the client, the DPC console uses the Windows application program
interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected and available. The DPC 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 DPC console to be able to connect to it.
Setting Up the Server for the EMP
To use the EMP, you must configure BIOS with specific settings. Enter these settings into the
BIOS Server Menu and the Console Redirection Submenu. These sections show ALL available
options for BIOS settings.
The two sections on page 66, “Server Menu” and “Console Redirection Submenu,” describe the
settings that MUST be configured to use the EMP.
Server Menu
All EMP-related settings occur from the Server 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 <OK>
through the password prompt.
In the EMP password area, 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.
EMP Access Modes: Choose either disabled, preboot, or always active, depending on the type of
EMP access needed. Tables 10 and 11 (page 65) list what is available with a given setting.
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set restricted mode to either enabled or disabled. In enabled
mode, the DPC console's server control options, Power On/Off and Reset, are NOT available. In
disabled mode, these options ARE available.
EMP Direct Connect/Modem Mode: Select Direct Connect if a null modem serial cable directly
connects the server's COM2 port to the DPC console client machine. If they are connected via a
modem, select Modem Mode.
Console Redirection Submenu
To use the EMP, you must set the following options exactly as noted.
COM Port Address: Select 2F8. This is the COM2 port that the EMP must use. The
IRQ# setting is automatically assigned with the correct number based on the COM port address
choice.
Baud Rate: Select 19.2K.
Console Type: Select PC ANSI.
Flow Control: Select CTS/RTS + CD.
