USER GUIDE

IPMI over Serial - If your host system supports IPMI V1.5 and has an Intel EMP
(Emergency Management Port, usually COM2) connector, you can connect IPMI
through serial port 1 on IP Extender. Please note:
• Set the EMP port to Always enable and switch off the Restricted Mode.
• The BMC should accept a null username and a non-null password account
as login.
• Passwords are 4 -16 characters long.
• Use a null modem cable for connection
IPMI over LAN - You can connect the IPMI over a LAN connection. You need a
host system with IPMI V1.5 and a network adapter with a sideband connection to
the BMC (mostly on board). In the IPMI Settings, enter the IP-address of this host
system and the correct password for the LAN connection.
You can also access other IPMI systems when you enter their IP address.
