Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method to implement a cost-effective remote system management mechanism using a serial communication controller and interrupts. The system includes a requesting device operatively coupled to a network to send a status query through a serial port in the requesting device. The system further includes a responding device operatively coupled to the network to receive the status query from the requesting device. The status query inquires about operational status of the responding device. The responding device receives the status query through a serial port in the responding device, processes the status query, and reports the operational status through the serial port in the responding device to the requesting device in response to the status query sent by the requesting device.
