5 Remote Control (JRC)
The Remote Control option provides a way to intercept and reroute certain BIOS functionality over a serial
port at an early stage during the boot process. There are two distinct software components involved: the
first component is part of the BIOS (client), the second component runs on a different device (host) that is
connected using a serial cable to the client. This component is available as a WIN32 (JRC.EXE respectively
jrc1i1xx.exe) or as a MS-DOS (JRCD.EXE repectively jrc1i2xx.exe) application.
The 'server' function is a very useful feature. The BIOS settings can be changed using this mode or the
client boots from the floppy inserted in the host's floppy drive A. Exit the 'server' mode by pressing
simultaneously both control keys on the host keyboard.
The following steps are necessary:
Open a command prompt window on the host
Issue a connect command with the appropriate COM port
e.g.
JRC connect COM1
Note that the 'server' command contains an implicit connect and by default uses the port and baudrate of
the last successful manual connect. Type
JRC server or JRC server A:
The following picture shows an example (press the 'Del' key on the client keyboard):
