serial connection. The following features are available:

EMP Feature

Description

Access Mode

Set the times during system operation when EMP access
over the specified port is available. The choices are:

Pre-boot only. The EMP is automatically activated

when the system is powered off and during POST.

Always Active. The serial port is always dedicated

for EMP use.

Always Disabled. The EMP is deactivated.

Restricted Access
Mode

Enables or disables restricted mode access. When
restricted mode is enabled, control operations that could
disable or alter a running system via the EMP are
disabled.

Connection Mode

Configures the method to connect to the EMP:

Direct Connect Mode is for applications that

connect the EMP port directly to another computer
system.

Modem Mode is for applications that connect the

EMP port to an external modem.

Data Carrier
Detect (DCD)
Mode

Enables or disables monitoring of the Data Carrier Detect
(DCD) signal. When DCD Mode is enabled, the EMP is
activated and/or reinitialized whenever the serial port's
DCD signal becomes de-asserted.

Baud Rate

is transmitted through the EMP port. Baud rates are
19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.

Flow Control

You can disable the flow control or set it to CTS/RTS.

Modem Init String The initialization string is transmitted every time the

EMP initializes. The maximum length is 32 bytes and it
is usually set to "ATE1Q0V1X4&D2&C1S0=0".

Modem Hangup
String

The Hangup String is sent to the modem when the EMP
terminates the session. The EMP automatically sends an

character after this string. The maximum

length is 8 bytes and it is usually set to "ATH".
