The SOL Proxy communication scheme enables you to view and configure the BIOS settings of a managed system, as well as to reset the managed system remotely using a telnet client. SOL Proxy is installed as a daemon service and automatically starts each time the system boots. SOL Proxy can accommodate only one telnet session at a time. You can use a variety of telnet clients to access SOL Proxy features. For example: • In a Windows environment, you can use a Command Prompt window as your console. However, function keys such as and will not operate correctly with this client except on systems running Windows Server 2003. • In a Windows environment, you can also use any telnet application that supports VT100 or ANSI emulation mode (such as HyperTerminal) as your console. NOTICE: All versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system include Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal terminal emulation software. However, the included version does not provide many functions required during console redirection. Instead, you can use any terminal emulation software that supports VT100 or ANSI emulation mode. One example of a full VT100 or ANSI terminal emulator that supports console redirection on your system is Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal Private Edition 6.1 or later. Using the BMC Management Utility 77

The SOL Proxy communication scheme enables you to view and configure
the BIOS settings of a managed system, as well as to reset the managed
system remotely using a telnet client. SOL Proxy is installed as a daemon
service and automatically starts each time the system boots. SOL Proxy can
accommodate only one telnet session at a time.
You can use a variety of telnet clients to access SOL Proxy features. For
example:
In a Windows environment, you can use a Command Prompt window as
your console. However, function keys such as <F1> and <F2> will not
operate correctly with this client except on systems running Windows
Server 2003.
In a Windows environment, you can also use any telnet application that
supports VT100 or ANSI emulation mode (such as HyperTerminal) as your
console.
NOTICE:
All versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system include

included version does not provide many functions required during console
redirection. Instead, you can use any terminal emulation software that
supports VT100 or ANSI emulation mode. One example of a full VT100 or ANSI
