Starting The Ssu - Intel AC450NX Product Manual

•
Running the SSU Remotely
To run the SSU remotely, you must invoke the SSU.BAT file with the /t switch and redirect
the text-mode output via BIOS console redirection. The /t switch puts the display in text mode
and allows the console to be viewed and controlled via BIOS console redirection.
First, configure the server for BIOS console redirection. Then configure the modem to
auto-answer and to "modem reaction to DTR set to return to command state." After
configuring the server, it should be booted to a DOS prompt either locally or remotely through
the EMP. Once the server boots, the remote user can use any ANSI terminal emulation
program to connect to the configured COM port and invoke SSU /t. This process requires a
bootable DOS partition, and all files required for the SSU to run must be on the server.

Starting the SSU

The SSU consists of a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework
called the Application Framework (AF). The AF provides a launching point for individual tasks
and a location for setting customization information.
