EMP Requirements and Configurations

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

Operating Systems:

T

Windows 95

16 MB of RAM, 32 MB recommended

20 MB disk space.

T

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.
