The following gives an overview of how the EMP functions in each state.
Command state is the default COM 2 state. In this state, the EMP communicates with the server, allowing the client to remotely reset or power the server up or down. The client can also view the server's System Event Log (SEL), Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information, or Sensor
TData Record (SDR) table.
In redirect state, the EMP serves as a PC ANSI terminal window for BIOS console redirection. Commands typed in this terminal window are transmitted through BIOS to the server's console, and text displayed on the server console are displayed on the EMP's terminal window. With the EMP in this state, you can remotely view boot messages, access BIOS setup, and run DOS text mode applications through the EMP's terminal window.
