摘要： A client on a network is provided with auxiliary low power logic, at the network adoptor, that is always active and simulates network traffic (e.g., Ethernet format) normally sent under control of the main client system processor(s). This logic collects client status information and reports to the network manager, even when the system CPU is powered down, information which allows the network manager to exercise broader control and perform maintenance and upgrades which would otherwise require a dialog with the user and/or limit maintenance and reconfiguration of the client system to off-hours activity.

摘要翻译： 在网络上的客户端被提供有辅助低功率逻辑，在网络采集器处，其始终是活动的并且模拟通常在主客户端系统处理器的控制下发送的网络流量（例如，以太网格式）。 该逻辑收集客户端状态信息并向网络管理器报告，即使系统CPU断电，允许网络管理员进行更广泛的控制和执行维护和升级的信息，否则需要与用户对话和/或限制 维护和重新配置客户端系统到非工作活动。

摘要： A method and system for accessing a remote real communication port (“COM port”) from a server blade in a server blade chassis by creating a virtual COM port in the server blade. A basic input/output system (BIOS) controller monitors an internal COM port in the server blade for communication traffic. Upon detecting the communication traffic, the BIOS controller reroutes the traffic to a virtual USB COM port created by the BIOS controller chipset. The virtual USB COM port directs the communication traffic to an internal universal serial bus (USB) device in the server blade. The USB device then forwards the traffic to an Ethernet media access controller (MAC) input/output (I/O) on a sideband channel to a remote system, which passes the communication traffic to a real COM port in the remote system.
