Setting Up The Server For The Emp; Main Emp Console Window - Intergraph InterServe 9000 System Reference Manual

Setting Up the Server for the EMP

To use the EMP, you must configure BIOS with specific settings. Enter these settings in two
submenus of the BIOS Server Menu: the System Management Submenu and the Console Redirect
Submenu. The section above on BIOS settings shows all available options. The sections below
focus on the 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: Any time you try 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> at
the password prompt.
In the EMP password area of the System Management Submenu, type in a password of up to eight
alphanumeric characters. If the system beeps, the password was not accepted; you must enter a
different password.
EMP Console Access Modes: Choose either disabled, pre-boot, or always active, depending on
the type of EMP access needed. Tables 27 (page 56) and 28 (page 56) list what is available with a
given setting.
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set restricted mode to either enabled or disabled. In enabled
mode, the EMP console's server control options, Power On/Off and Reset, are NOT available. In
disabled mode, these options ARE available.
EMP Direct Connect/Modem Mode: Select Direct Connect if a null modem serial cable directly
connects the server's COM2 port to the EMP console client machine. If they are connected via a
modem, select Modem Mode.
Console Redirection Submenu
To use the EMP, you must set the following options exactly as noted.
COM Port Address: Select 2F8. This is the COM2 port that the EMP must use. The
IRQ# setting is automatically assigned with the correct number based on the COM port address
choice.
Baud Rate: Select 19.2k.
Console Type: Choose PC ANSI.
Flow Control: Choose CTS/RTS + CD.

Main EMP Console Window

The main EMP console window provides a GUI to access server control operations and to launch
the management plug-ins. A menu and tool bar at the top of the GUI provide options to initiate
plug-ins and other support features. A status bar at the bottom displays connection information
like server name, mode, and line status.
