Use the <Tab> key to move between the filter entries and the <OK> button. Select
<OK> to go back to the PEF setup page. Use the <Esc> key to abort any selection
altogether.
Note: You must select <Save> in the PEF setup page to actually set the filter entries.
Platform Event Paging (PEP) setup
The Platform Event Paging (PEP) setup lets you configure the following features.
Blackout period: Enter the time, in minutes, between successive phone pages. The
range is 0 to 255 minutes, where 0 disables the blackout period.
Modem Page string: Enter the paging string, which contains both the paging service
number and the characters that are sent once the connection has been made. The
length of the paging string is determined at run-time from firmware and it is kept in
the internal use area of the BMC FRU information.
Emergency Management Port (EMP) setup
The EMP setup enables remote server management over a modem or with a direct
serial connection. Specify the following features.
Access mode: Sets the times during system operation when EMP access over the
specified port is available. The choices are:
•
Pre-boot only. The EMP is automatically activated when the system is powered
off and during POST.
•
Always Active. The serial port is always dedicated for EMP use.
•
Always Disabled. The EMP is deactivated.
Restricted access mode: Enables or disables restricted mode access. When restricted
mode is enabled, control operations that could disable or alter a running system via
the EMP are disabled.
Connection mode: Configures the method to connect to the EMP:
•
Direct Connect Mode is for applications that connect the EMP port directly to
another computer system.
•
Modem Mode is for applications that connect the EMP port to an external
modem.
Data Carrier Detect (DCD) mode: Enables or disables monitoring of the Data Carrier
Detect (DCD) signal. When DCD Mode is enabled, the EMP is activated and/or
reinitialized whenever the serial port's DCD signal becomes de-asserted.
Baud rate: Configures the maximum rate in bits per second that data is transmitted
through the EMP port. Baud rates are 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
Flow control: You can disable the flow control or set it to CTS/RTS.
Modem init string: The initialization string is transmitted every time the EMP
initializes. The maximum length is 32 bytes and it is usually set to
"ATE1Q0V1X4&D2&C1S0=0".
Modem hangup string: The Hangup String is sent to the modem when the EMP
terminates the session. The EMP automatically sends an <Enter> character after this
string. The maximum length is 8 bytes and it is usually set to "ATH".
