Connecting to the DRAC/MC Through the Local Serial Port or Telnet Management Station (Client System) The serial console is available through the DRAC/MC serial connector. Only one serial client can be connected at any given time. The Telnet console is available on the DRAC/MC through the DRAC/MC NIC. Only one Telnet client can be connected at any given time. NOTE: If a Telnet client is attached to the DRAC/MC, and another client attempts a Telnet connection, the second client will receive only a blank screen in response. The serial/Telnet connection to the DRAC/MC serial or Telnet console requires the use of management station terminal emulation software.
