Serial Channel Configuration
The serial channel is configured through the SMU. Set the connection mode to the desired
connection mode and the rest of the options to the desired state for your application.
•
Direct Connection Mode: Set the options on the direct connection mode to the correct
states for your application. Disable the ping message to avoid receiving serial ping message
data from the BMC on your terminal screen.
•
Modem Connection Mode: Set the options on the modem connection mode to the desired
states for your application. Disable the ping message to avoid receiving serial ping message
data from the BMC on your terminal screen.
Save the new serial channel configuration when you are done editing the serial channel settings.
