EMP Requirements and Configurations

This section outlines the requirements and configurations necessary for using the EMP console.

Operating Systems:

Windows 95

⎯16 MB of RAM, 32 MB recommended

T⎯ 20 MB disk space. Windows NT

⎯Windows NT 4.0 or later

⎯24 MB of RAM, 32 MB recommended

⎯20 MB disk space.

Client Configuration: The EMP supports all COM ports on the client system, along with any Windows NT/95 compatible modem.

Server Configuration: The EMP 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 required. Connect one end of the cable into the COM 2 port of the server and the other into a port on the client machine.

Modem Configuration: On the client, the 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 14400 bps modem. The modem must be on the NT Hardware Compatibility List provided by Microsoft. The server modem must be set in auto-answer mode for the EMP to be able to connect to it.
