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

DESCRIPTION

18       The solterm program allows a user to make a  remote  serial  connection
19       over IPMI.  The requires that the remote system support IPMI 2.0 Serial
20       Over LAN.

OPTIONS

24       <connection parms>
25              The parameters for the connection depend on the connection type.
26              These are all described in openipmi_conparms (7)
27
28
29       -e escape_char
30              The  character to use to escape, or exit, the program.  Entering
31              this character right after a newline is entered causes the  pro‐
32              gram  to  go  into  command mode.  A single character after this
33              performs a command.  The default  escape  character  is  "~"  as
34              shown below.  Supported commands are:
35
36              ~.     Terminate the program
37
38              ~B     Send a serial BREAK over the connection
39
40              ~F     Flush all buffers
41
42              ~R     Assert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
43
44              ~r     Deassert the Ring Indicator (RI) line
45
46              ~D     Assert DCD and DSR lines
47
48              ~d     Deassert DCD and DSR lines
49
50              ~C     Pause the output using CTS
51
52              ~c     Put CTS under BMC control
53
54              ~?     Help on escape commands
55
56              ~~     Enter the escape character twice to send it.
57
58
59       -notencrypted
60              Do not encrypt the SOL data going over the connection.
61
62
63       -notauthenticated
64              Do  not  do integrity checks on the SOL data going over the con‐
65              nection.
66
67
68       -bitrate
69              Set the bitrate to the given value.  The default is whatever the
70              BMC has set it to.
71
72
73       -alerts
74              This  specifies  what  to  do if a alert that requires a callout
75              occurs on the line.
76
77              succeed
78                     specifies that serial/modem alerts are to  succeed  while
79                     SoL is active.
80
81              deferred
82                     specifies that serial/modem alerts are to be deferred for
83                     the duration of the SoL session.
84
85              fail   specifies that  serial/modem  alerts  automatically  fail
86                     during the SoL session. This is the default.
87
88
89       -holdoff
90              Specifies  that  CTS,  DTR,  and DSR are to be deasserted at the
91              start of the SoL session so that the configuration may be  modi‐
92              fied before the handshake is released.
93
94
95       -v     Be more verbose.  Maybe specified multiple time for more output.
96
97
98       -q     Be less verbose.  Maybe specified multiple time for less output.
