NOTE: When using HyperTerminal, you must deselect the Wrap lines that exceed terminal width check box to avoid console redirected data that may appear to be corrupted or garbled. To deselect this feature, click File→ Properties→ Settings→ ASCII Setup...→ Wrap lines that exceed terminal width. NOTE: See your system's User's Guide for more information about console redirection, including hardware and software requirements and instructions for configuring host and client systems to use console redirection. • In a Linux environment, you can use a shell such as csh or ksh as your console, or you can use any telnet application supporting VT100 or ANSI emulation mode. NOTE: Telnet settings must be consistent with the settings on the managed system. For example, the baud rates and terminal modes should match. You can also send the terminal break function while in console redirection. The use of this functionality requires that the specific terminal program in use has the ability to send the break function. For example, you can send the break signal through the Linux telnet modules by typing: Ctrl+]send brk The Linux SysRq function is one example of an advanced debugging feature that is enabled by use of the break function. See the "BIOS Configuration" section on how to use this feature. See the "Serial Console redirection With SOL Proxy" section for more information on the SysRq feature. To enable BIOS console redirection for use with SOLProxy: • Configure the Console redirection attribute to On with Console Redirection via COM2 for Dell x9xx and xx0x systems. This option is available under the Serial Communication submenu in BIOS setup. • Configure the Console Redirection attribute to Serial Port1 for PowerEdge x8xx systems. This option is available under the Console Redirection menu in BIOS Setup. Set Serial Port 1 to BMC NIC. This option is available under the Integrated Devices menu in BIOS Setup.

emulation mode.
NOTE:
Telnet settings must be consistent with the settings on the managed system.
For example, the baud rates and terminal modes should match.
You can also send the terminal break function while in console redirection.
The use of this functionality requires that the specific terminal program in
use has the ability to send the break function. For example, you can send the
break signal through the Linux telnet modules by typing:

to
BMC NIC
. This
option is available under the
Integrated Devices
menu in
BIOS Setup
