The
solterm
program allows a user to make a remote serial connection over IPMI.
The requires that the remote system support IPMI 2.0 Serial Over LAN.
OPTIONS
<connection parms>
The parameters for the connection depend on the connection type.
These are all described in openipmi_conparms (7)
-e escape_char
The character to use to escape, or exit, the program. Entering this
chatacter right after a newline is entered causes the program to go
into command mode. A single character after this performs a command.
The default escape character is "~" as shown below. Suppported
commands are:
~.
Terminate the program
~B
Send a serial BREAK over the connection
~F
Flush all buffers
~R
Assert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
~r
Deassert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
~D
Assert DCD and DSR lines
~d
Deassert DCD and DSR lines
~C
Pause the output using CTS
~c
Put CTS under BMC control
~?
Help on escape commands
~~
Enter the escape character twice to send it.
-notencrypted
Do not encrypt the SOL data going over the connection.
-notauthenticated
Do not do integrity checks on the SOL data going over the connection.
-bitrate
Set the bitrate to the given value. The default is whatever the BMC
has set it to.
-alerts
This specifies what to do if a alert that requires a callout occurs on
the line.
succeed
specifies that serial/modem alerts are to succeed while
SoL is active.
deferred
specifies that serial/modem alerts are to be deferred for
the duration of the SoL session.
fail
specifies that serial/modem alerts automatically fail during
the SoL session. This is the default.
-holdoff
Specifies that CTS, DTR, and DSR are to be deasserted at the start of
the SoL session so that the configuration may be modifeid before the
handshake is released.
-v
