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	 (suc‐
       ceed|defer|fail)]  [-holdoff]  [-ack-retries n] [-ack-timeout microsec‐
       onds] [-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  pro‐
	      gram  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 con‐
	      nection.

       -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  mod‐
	      ifeid 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.
