NAME

       solterm - An IPMI Serial over LAN program

SYNOPSIS

       solterm

       <connection   parms>  [-e  escape_char]	[-notencrypted]  [-notauthenticated]  [-bitrate  (9600|19200|38400|57600|115200)]  [-alerts  (suc-
       ceed|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.
