Gateway ALR 9200 state—, Redirect, Figure 35: EMP Console in Redirect State

•Redirect state—the EMP console serves as a PC ANSI terminal window for BIOS console redirection (Figure 35). Commands typed in this terminal window are transmitted through BIOS to the server console, and text displayed on the server console is displayed in the EMP console terminal window. With the EMP in this state, you can remotely view boot messages, access BIOS setup, and run DOS text mode applications through the EMP console terminal window.

Figure 35: EMP Console in Redirect State

Figure 35 shows the EMP console window in redirect state with the terminal window. The text that appears on the server monitor is also displayed in the redirect window.

Availability of the various EMP console features is determined by two things: the EMP access mode selected during configuration in the System Management Submenu of the BIOS Server Menu (page 133) and whether the server COM2 port is configured for console redirect in the BIOS.
