IBM 343 manual Running the SSU Remotely via an Emergency Management Card, Starting the SSU

The SSU runs from writable, non-writable, removable, and non-removable media. If the SSU is run from non-writable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) cannot be saved.

The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other ROM-DOS-compatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a “DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.

Running the SSU Remotely via an Emergency Management Card

Using graphical hardware redirection via the emergency management card 2, you can see the SSU Console in VGA graphics mode, control the mouse, and control the keyboard from a local system connected to a remote server by a network or modem.

The emergency management card 2 provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection support. Video memory and user input are sent to a remote location through either a modem or Ethernet link and displayed by the Remote Control console. This solution requires an emergency management card 2 card installed in the remote server and the Remote Control software available on the local system. The SSU will execute exclusively on the remote server. Any files required for the SSU to execute must be on the remote server.

Starting the SSU

SSU consists of a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. The SSU requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and .INI files.
