solterm(1)                          IPMI Serial over LAN program                          solterm(1)



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  de‐
              scribed 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 char‐
              acter after this performs a command.  The default escape character is "~" as shown be‐
              low.  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.
