"DICE included a RemoteConsole tool which allows you to run a remote
console on your client computer (without running the full game). In order
to allow this tool to remotely access the server, you must enable the
access in the ServerAutoexec.com file located in the mods/Bf1942/Settings
folder. The command is as follows:

admin.enableremoteconsole <userid> <password> [port]

(the port number is optional)

where <userid> is the username you will use, <password> is any password of
your choice. The userid and password should be all numbers OR letters, BUT
NOT BOTH AND NO SPACES! You may also specify an alternate port (the
default is 4711) on which the server will listen for incoming connections
from the RemoteConsole tool.

So, for example:

admin.enableremoteconsole bob abcdef

After enabling access, run the RemoteConsole.exe on your client computer
in a command window. cd to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942
Server\AdminTool and run the following command:

RemoteConsole -u <username> -p <password>
where <username> and <password> are the ones you just set in the server
console ( or in the ServerAutoexec.con file in the Settings folder).

So:

RemoteConsole -u bob -p abcdef
