Console Redirection
Console redirection allows users to monitor the AMC123's boot process and to run the
AMC123's BIOS setup utility from a remote serial terminal. Connection is made directly through
the serial port.
The console redirection feature is most useful in cases where it is necessary to communicate
with the AMC123 in an embedded application without video support.
Console redirection is configurable from the AMC123's BIOS setup utility
