Requirements

This section outlines the requirements and configurations necessary for using EMP Console.
Operating Systems:
• Windows 95
16 MB of RAM, 32 MB recommended
20 MB disk space
• Windows NT†
Windows NT 4.0
24 MB of RAM, 32 MB recommended
20 MB disk space
Client Configuration: EMP Console supports all COM ports on the client system, along with any
Windows NT/95 compatible modem.
Server Configuration: EMP Console requires the server’s COM 2 port to be connected to an
external modem or directly connected to a serial cable.
Direct Connect Configuration: A null modem serial cable is needed. Connect one end of the
cable to the COM 2 port of server and the other to a port on the client machine.
Modem Configuration: On the client, EMP Console uses the Windows Application Program
Interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected and available. The EMP Console does not
configure the modem; it should be preconfigured through Windows.
For modem support, the server must use a Hayes compatible modem that supports a baud rate
of 19.2k. The modem must be on the NT Hardware Compatibility List provided by Microsoft.
The server modem must be set in auto-answer mode for EMP Console to be able to connect to it.
