3. To require a password for remote access, enter the password in the Enter New Password box and in the
Verify New Password box. Passwords can be from 1 to 16 characters long, using any ASCII character in
the range [32-126]. To clear the passwords, leave both boxes blank. (You can also clear the password by
selecting the menu Options > Clear EMP Password.)
4. In the Modem Ring Time box, enter the number of 500-ms intervals that the BMC should wait before
taking control of the Serial 2 port and answering an incoming call. A value greater than zero gives the
BIOS time to answer before the BMC takes control. A value of zero causes the BMC to answer
immediately. The maximum value, 63, tells the BMC to ignore the call. Modem Ring Time applies only
to Preboot access mode and is ignored for other access modes.
5. In the System Phone Number box, enter the number of the phone line connected to the modem on the
EMP.
6. From the Access Mode list, choose the remote access mode:
•
Preboot—The EMP is available only when the server is powered down or is running POST during
startup. Once the operating system is loaded, a connection cannot be made.
•
Always Active—The EMP is available at any time.
•
Disabled—Remote servers are not allowed to initiate connections.
7. From the Restricted Mode list, choose either:
•
Enable—A remote server can initiate a connection, but cannot perform control operations such as
power down, reset, or front panel NMI.
or
•
Disable—The remote management station has full control of the server.
8. From the Connection Mode list, choose either:
•
Direct Connect—The Serial B port on the server is connected by a serial cable to the remote
management station.
or
•
Modem Connect—The Serial B port on the server is connected to a modem.
9. Click Save to save the changes.
