130 Gateway ALR 9250R User’s Guide
Client Configuration
The EMP console supports all COM ports on the client system, along with
any Windows NT/95 compatible modem.
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.
Setting up the server for the EMP
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 91) and
the Console Redirect Submenu (“Console redirection submenu” on
page 91). The sections below focus on the settings that must be configured
to use the EMP.
