The Console Manager also has a support plug-in Phonebook, which you can use to create and maintain a
list of servers and their phone numbers. You can launch the Connect dialog directly from the Phonebook
dialog to connect to a selected server.

The EMP shares use of the COM 2 port with the system. When the EMP has control of the port, the port
operates in command state. When the system has control of it, the port operates in redirect state. When
connecting to a server, the EMP Console checks to determine the current COM 2 port state. The following
discussion covers how the EMP Console functions in each state:
•
Command state is the default COM 2 state. In this state, the EMP Console communicates
with the server’s firmware, allowing the client to remotely reset or power the server up or
down. The client can also view the server’s System Event Log (SEL), Field Replaceable
Unit (FRU) information, or Sensor Data Record (SDR) table.
•
In
redirect state
, the EMP Console serves as a PC ANSI terminal window for BIOS
console redirection. Commands typed in this terminal window are transmitted through
BIOS to the server’s console, and text displayed on the server console are displayed on
the EMP Console’s terminal window. With the EMP in this state, you can remotely view
boot messages, access BIOS setup, and run DOS text mode applications through the
EMP Console’s terminal window.
