Console Redirection Settings

Enable or disable the COM 1 device.

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

Enable or disable the Virtual COM Port 2 device.

When [Disabled] is selected, SSH for console redirection is disabled.

Enable or disable console redirection.

While [Auto] is selected, console redirection will be enabled automatically if IPMI Serial over LAN status is active.

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

When [Enabled] is selected, the 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].

This option allows you to control the system BMC’s access over the system serial port.

• [Shared]: The serial port is available for POST and operating system use; however, the BMC will/can monitor the serial data for takeover control.

• [Dedicated]: The BMC has complete control of the serial port. POST and/or OS will not be able to use the serial port.

• [Disabled]: The BMC has no access to the serial port.

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

• When [Disabled] is selected, it is configured with SOL redirection.

• When [Enabled] is selected, a server serial port can be accessed from an SSH connection (Virtual COM 2).

Set 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 resynchronize with the character stream.

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