NAME

       solterm - An IPMI Serial over LAN program

SYNOPSIS

       solterm

       <connection   parms>   [-e   escape_char]  [-notencrypted]  [-notauthenticated]  [-bitrate
       (9600|19200|38400|57600|115200)] [-alerts (succeed|defer|fail)]  [-holdoff]  [-ack-retries
       n] [-ack-timeout microseconds] [-v] [-q]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

<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.
