To log in to the BMC command line interface, use a serial connection and terminal emulation
software:

panel of the workstation (see page 17), and to your remote device.
2. Configure the terminal emulation software with these settings:
❏
Baud rate: 9600
❏
Bits: 8
❏
Parity: None
❏
Stop Bits: 1 (one)
