Appendix 53
Agent Connect Via
This field is un-selectable. Only one connection mode is sup-
ported: NULL. NULL means the connection cable is of null
modem type.
Agent wait time (min)
This option selects the amount of time (in minutes) to wait for a
successful connection. If the selected time elapses, the Serial
console times out and will not be supported by the server.
Agent after boot
This field enables or disables accepting text-based applications
(such as DOS) after the POST. If disabled, it will not send any
messages to client computers after booting to the OS. If
enabled, the user may execute commands from the client.
A boot message will be displayed after the BIOS attempts to
establish a connection between server and client:
X
“Award Preboot Agent Installation Successful”
When this message is displayed, POST messages are sent to
the client and indicates that Serial Console mode has been
successfully initiated.
X
“Award Preboot Agent Installation Failed”
If this message is shown, there is an issue with the connection.
To resolve this issue check the Serial Console configuration of
the server as described above, and ensure that the settings of
the terminal application of the client are configured accordingly.

operating systems, such as Windows 98, NT, 2000. Other console
utilities can also be used to achieve remote control functionality.

tions is that of Windows 98 SE.
