4. In the Modem Ring Time box, enter the number of 500ms intervals that the BMC should wait
before taking control of the serial 2 port and answering an incoming call. A value greater than

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.

POST during startup.

• Enabled: a remote system can initiate a connection, but cannot perform control operations
such as power down, reset, or front panel NMI.

Creating a Bootable Diskette

Each update diskette created must be made bootable with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22 or MS-DOS†
Ver. 6.22.
✏ NOTE
It is recommended that the target system be booted with the Resource CD
that accompanied the product. However, the process for making the diskettes
is the same for all the compatible versions of DOS. ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22 is
included on the Resource CD.
