Strange Characters from ILOM

Hello,

I have an x86 server with an ILOM connection that produces strange characters when I perform a start /SP/console, see below:

Code:
Oracle(R) Integrated Lights Out Manager


Version 3.0.16.10.a r68533

Copyright (c) 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y

Serial console started.  To stop, type ESC (

 rootÀððóteótcóîít0±*£*
                        rootÀððóteótcóîít0±*£*
                                               rootÀððóteótcóîít0±*£*

So every time I press enter, rootÀððóteótcóîít0±*£ appears.
This is actually the has prompt and I can if i enter ls for example, I DO get an output:

Code:
rootÀððóteótcóîít0±*£*ló
                                                                                                    árcèiöe*************Docõíeîtó***********îet*****************tíð

                                                                                           äeö*****************ëerîel**************óâiî
                                                                                                                                        äeöiceó*************liâ*****************óùóteí
                          rootÀððóteótcóîít0±*£*

Its just that the output seems to be in the wrong characters.
Has anyone experienced this with ILOM (or ALOM even) and can provide some assistance?
From the public IP, I can telnet to the node and do not experience this problem.

Here is the output of eeprom from the public ip if it helps:
Code:
# eeprom
ata-dma-enabled=1
atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0
ttyb-rts-dtr-off=false
ttyb-ignore-cd=true
ttya-rts-dtr-off=false
ttya-ignore-cd=true
ttyb-mode=9600,8,n,1,-
ttya-mode=9600,8,n,1,-
lba-access-ok=1
prealloc-chunk-size=0x2000
boot-args=
nvramrc=." ChassisSerialNumber USM72106D8 " cr 
keyboard-layout=US-English
console=ttya

Please let me know.
BR,
Kerry
