Console Redirection Settings

Enables or disables COM 1 device.

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

Enables or disables Virtual COM Port 2 device.

When [Disabled] is selected, SSH connection is disabled.

Sets 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.

Enables 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].

Controls 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 will not have any access to the serial port.

Serial Over LAN (SOL) or SSH redirection enables a system administrator to use BMC as a serial terminal server. It allows you to choose which mode to have the redirection.

When [Disabled] is selected, it is configured with SOL. A server serial port can be accessed from SSH connection (Virtual COM 2) when SP Redirection is set to [Enabled].

Selects 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.

Controls connection speed between the host and the remote system.

Sets number of data bits in each character.

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

[None] means that no parity bit is transmitted.

Sets Stop Bits. Stop Bits which follow at the end of each character allow the signal receiver to detect the end of a character and to resynchronize with the character stream.

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