SYNOPSIS
solterm<connection parms> [-e escape_char] [-notencrypted] [-notauthenticated] [-bitrate (9600|19200|38400|57600|115200)] [-alerts (succeed|defer|fail)] [-holdoff] [-ack-retries n] [-ack-timeout microseconds] [-v] [-q]
DESCRIPTION
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
-
Be more verbose. Maybe specified multiple time for more output.
- -q
-
Be less verbose. Maybe specified multiple time for less output.
