The solterm program allows a user to make a remote serial
connection over IPMI. The requires that the remote system support IPMI 2.0
Serial Over LAN.
- <connection parms>
- The parameters for the connection depend on the connection type. These are
all described in openipmi_conparms (7)
- -e escape_char
- The character to use to escape, or exit, the program. Entering this
chatacter right after a newline is entered causes the program to go into
command mode. A single character after this performs a command. The
default escape character is "~" as shown below. Suppported
commands are:
- ~.
- Terminate the program
- ~B
- Send a serial BREAK over the connection
- ~F
- Flush all buffers
- ~R
- Assert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
- ~r
- Deassert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
- ~D
- Assert DCD and DSR lines
- ~d
- Deassert DCD and DSR lines
- ~C
- Pause the output using CTS
- ~c
- Put CTS under BMC control
- ~?
- Help on escape commands
- ~~
- Enter the escape character twice to send it.
- -notencrypted
- Do not encrypt the SOL data going over the connection.
- -notauthenticated
- Do not do integrity checks on the SOL data going over the connection.
- -bitrate
- Set the bitrate to the given value. The default is whatever the BMC has
set it to.
- -alerts
- This specifies what to do if a alert that requires a callout occurs on the
line.
- succeed
- specifies that serial/modem alerts are to succeed while SoL is
active.
- deferred
- specifies that serial/modem alerts are to be deferred for the duration of
the SoL session.
- fail
- specifies that serial/modem alerts automatically fail during the SoL
session. This is the default.
- -holdoff
- Specifies that CTS, DTR, and DSR are to be deasserted at the start of the
SoL session so that the configuration may be modifeid before the handshake
is released.
- -v
- Be more verbose. Maybe specified multiple time for more output.
- -q
- Be less verbose. Maybe specified multiple time for less output.
