NAME

solterm - An IPMI Serial over LAN program

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.
