Console Redirection Settings

Enable or disable COM 1 device.

When [Disabled] is selected, the associated COM 1 terminal settings are hidden.

Enable or disable virtual COM 2 device.

When [Disabled] is selected, the SSH connection will be disabled.

Set remote console redirection preference to enable or disable console redirection.

When [Auto] is selected, Console Redirection is enabled automatically if IPMI Serial over LAN status is active.

Enable system BMC to allow access to the system serial port.

When [Enabled] is selected, BMC is allowed to control the serial communication port as requested by remote control commands.

When [Disabled] is selected, the serial port is assigned to BMC unless “Serial Port Access Mode” is set to [Disabled].

Control the access to the system BMC over the system serial port.

• [Shared]: Serial port is available for both of POST and operating system. However, BMC can monitor the serial data for a takeover control sequence.

• [Dedicated]: BMC has complete control of the serial port for POST and/or OS use.

• [Disabled]: BMC does not have any access to the serial port.

Serial Over LAN (SOL) or SSH redirection enables a system administrator to use the BMC as a serial terminal server. It allows to choose which mode to have the redirection. If this option is set to [Disabled], it will be configured with Serial over Lan (SOL). If this option is set to [Enabled], a server serial port can be accessed from SSH connection (Virtual COM 2).

Select a COM port to display the redirection of Legacy OS and Legacy OPROM (Option ROM) Messages.

When [Disabled] is selected, Legacy Console Redirection is disabled before booting to legacy OS.

When [Enabled] is selected, Legacy Console Redirection is enabled for legacy OS.

Control the connection speed between the host and the remote system.

Set the number of Data Bits in each character.

Set the parity bit in each character to be [None], [Odd], or [Even].

[None] means that no parity bit is transmitted.

Set Stop Bits. Stop Bits sent at the end of every character allow the signal receiver to detect the end of a character and to resynthesized with the character stream.

Select [VT100] only if the remote emulator does not support ANSI text graphics.
