Server Control Operations

Three server control operations are available from the menu or toolbar of the main DPC console window: Connecting to a remote server, powering the server on and off remotely, and resetting the server. The server console mode can also be switched between EMP active and BIOS redirect modes through post-power-up and post-reset options.

Connecting to Remote Server

Select [Re]Connect from the Connect Menu and follow the Connect dialog shown in Figure 11. Connect Dialog. This allows you to connect to a selected server. If the client machine is already connected to a server, initiating connection generates a warning message. The message states that the existing connection will be terminated if you continue trying to initiate the new connection. You are prompted to enter the EMP password whenever a connection is attempted.

Figure 11. Connect Dialog

Options available in the dialog are:

Line Selection:

Dial-up:Connects to the selected server with a dial-up modem.

Direct connect (Serial Line): Connects to the selected server directly using a null modem serial cable.

Server: Displays a list of available servers in a dropdown edit list box. You can select or enter a server name; when the line selection is dial-up, you must select a server.
