Client Configuration: The EMP console will support all COM ports on the client system, along
with any Windows NT/95 compatible modem.
Server Configuration: The EMP console requires that the server's 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 BIOS with specific settings. Enter these settings in two
submenus of the BIOS Server Menu: the System Management Submenu and the Console Redirect
Submenu. The section above on BIOS settings shows all available options. The sections below
focus on the settings that must be configured to use the EMP.
