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 <OK>
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.
EMP Access Modes: Choose either disabled, pre-boot, or always active, depending on the type of
EMP access needed. Tables 27 (page 59) and 28 (page 59) list what is available with a given
setting.
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set restricted mode to either enabled or disabled. In enabled
mode, the EMP 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 EMP 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: Choose PC ANSI.
Flow Control: Choose CTS/RTS + CD.
Main EMP Console Window
The main EMP console window provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to access server control
operations and to launch the management plug-ins. A menu and tool bar at the top of the GUI
provide options to initiate plug-ins and other support features. A status bar at the bottom displays
connection information like server name, line status, and mode.
