Setting up remote modem or serial access

To configure remote modem or serial access:

1From the SSU Main window, choose Platform Event Manager (PEM).

2In the PEM window, click Configure EMP.

3If 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 passwords, leave both boxes blank. (You can also clear the password by choosing Clear LAN Password from the Options menu.)

4In 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.

5In the System Phone Number box, enter the number for the phone line connected to the modem on the EMP.

6From 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.
