Setting Up Remote Modem or Serial Access

To configure remote modem or serial access:
1. From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager (PEM).
2. In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.
3. If you want 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 pass-
words, leave both boxes blank. (You can also clear the password by choose the menu
Options > Clear LAN Password.)
4. In the Modem Ring Time box, enter the number of 500ms intervals that the BMC should
wait before taking control of the COM2 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 for the phone line connected to
the modem on the EMP.
6. From the Access Mode list, choose the remote access mode:
• Always Active: the EMP is available at any time.
• Preboot: the EMP is available only when the server is powered down or is in the
running POST during startup.
• Disabled: remote systems are not allowed to initiate connections.
7. From the Restricted Mode list, choose either:
• Enabled: a remote system can initiate a connection, but cannot perform control
operations such as power down, reset, or front panel NMI.
• Disabled: the remote system has full control of the server.
8. From the Connection Mode list, choose either:
• Direct Connect: the COM2 port on the server is connected by a serial cable to the
remote system.
• Modem Connect: the COM2 port on the server is connected to a modem.
9. Click Save to save the changes.
