Emergency Management Port Console C-9
Server Control Operations
Three server control operations are available from the menu or toolbar of the main EMP
window, remote server connection, powering the server on and off, and resetting the
server. The server console mode can also be switched between EMP active and BIOS
redirect modes through post-power-up and reset options.
Connect
When you select [Re]Connect from the Connect menu, the Connect dialog allows you
to connect to a selected server. If the client machine is already connected to a server,
initiating connection generates a warning message. It lets you know 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.
Connect Dialog
Options available in the dialog are:
! Line Selection - you can specify whether to use a direct connection or dial-up
modem connection to the server.
Dial-up - connects to a selected server with a modem. Direct connect (Serial Line) - connects to the selected server directly using a
null modem serial cable.
! Server - you can select or enter a server name from a dropdown edit list box of
available servers. A server must be selected when the line selection is Dial-up.
