Setting Up The Server For The Emp - NEC LS2400 Service & Reference Manual

Setting Up the Server for the EMP

To use the EMP, you must configure the server's BIOS with specific
settings. These settings take place in two submenus of the BIOS Server
menu, the System Management Submenu and the Console Redirect
Submenu. The earlier BIOS settings section shows all available
options. This section focuses on those settings that must be configured
to use the EMP.
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: Anytime 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 8 alphanumeric characters. If a beep is heard,
the password was not accepted and a different password must be
entered.
EMP Access Modes: Choose either Disabled, Pre-boot, or Always
Active, depending on the type of EMP access needed. The tables above
show what is available with a given setting.
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set Restricted Mode to either enabled or
disabled as needed. If in enabled mode, this means that the EMP's
server control options, Power On/Off and Reset, are unavailable. In
disabled mode, these same server control options are available.
EMP Direct Connect/Modem Mode: Select Direct Connect if a null
modem serial cable directly connects the server's COM 2 port to the
EMP client machine. If they are connected via a modem, select Modem
Mode.
