10.Line Commands
You can access the onboard configuration program by attaching a VT100 com-
patible device to the server’s serial port. These commands are used to set com-
munication parameters for the serial port or a virtual terminal. Note that Telnet is
considered a virtual terminal connection, and the only commands that apply to
Telnet include exec-timeout and password-thresh.
