SOL Proxy Diagram The SOL Proxy communication scheme enables the viewing and configuration of the BIOS settings of a managed system, as well as resetting 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. A variety of telnet clients can be used 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. HyperTerminal key mappings are based on the supported terminal emulation modes and do not support some useful terminal types. For example, HyperTerminal does not support the "Linux" terminal mode (a modified VT100 terminal). If you use HyperTerminal to connect to a Red Hat Linux console (redirected by SOL) the function and arrow keys may not work, based on the "tty" settings of the remote application. 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. 42 BMC Management Utility
