Syntax Terminal mode messages follow the general syntax below: [] Each terminal mode message must be preceded with the left bracket "start" character and must be ended with a right bracket "stop" character and the appropriate input new-line sequence. No input characters are accepted until the start character has been received. NOTE: Hex-ASCII commands can either use upper or lower-case letters for ASCII representations of hex digits. Command Length Terminal mode messages are limited to a maximum length of 122 characters. This includes the left- and right-brackets, but not control characters. Character Support Terminal mode messages are composed of standard printable ASCII characters. All other characters are treated as illegal characters. Special Character Handling - character The character deletes an entire message prior to submission to the BMC for processing. If line editing is enabled, and the key is followed by an input newline sequence, the BMC responds by displaying an output newline sequence. Otherwise, the BMC looks for the next start character.

Terminal Mode Commands
113
Syntax
Terminal mode messages follow the general syntax below:
[<message data>]<newline sequence>
Each terminal mode message must be preceded with the left bracket "start”
character and must be ended with a right bracket “stop” character and the
appropriate input new-line sequence.
No input characters are accepted until the start character has been received.
NOTE:
Hex-ASCII commands can either use upper or lower-case letters for ASCII
representations of hex digits.
Command Length
Terminal mode messages are limited to a maximum length of 122 characters.
This includes the left- and right-brackets, but not control characters.
Character Support
Terminal mode messages are composed of standard printable ASCII
characters. All other characters are treated as illegal characters.
Special Character Handling — <Esc> character
The <Esc> character deletes an entire message prior to submission to the
BMC for processing. If line editing is enabled, and the <Esc> key is followed
by an input newline sequence, the BMC responds by displaying an output
newline sequence. Otherwise, the BMC looks for the next start character.
Special Character Handling — <Delete> or <Backspace> character
The <Backspace> or <Delete> key deletes the last character entered if the
message has not been submitted to the BMC yet.
Special Character Handling — Line Continuation character
Long IPMI messages can be split across multiple lines by using the line
continuation "\" character followed immediately by an input newline
sequence. Line continuation character usage is supported for both text and
hex-ASCII commands.
Special Character Handling — Illegal characters
Any illegal characters received by the BMC clear the message in progress and
the BMC looks for the next start character.
