Does the Emergency Management Port conflict with Microsoft* Windows* NT RAS (Remote Access Server)?
No. If you desire to implement both, there are a few ways to accomplish it. The first is with a single modem connected to COM2 and the EMP mode set to “Pre-Boot Only.” When powered off or prior to the completion of POST (Power On Self Test), the EMP would have control of the COM2 port and after Network Operating System (NOS) load, the RAS function can be used, but not EMP. If EMP is desired to be used in the “Always Active” mode, it has full control of the COM2 port and that port cannot be used by the NOS. A modem should be placed on the COM2 port to ensure full EMP remote functionality. To use Windows* NT RAS, add a second modem to the COM1. On the E8000, the COM2 Port is the serial port closest to the RJ-45 network connector.
