Meaning
This item specifies the size of the region of data sent. 80x24 and 80x25 are a common size for legacy
operating systems. Typically, when dealing with a legacy operating system or operating in legacy mode, this
item is used by your terminal emulation program to determine the screen resolution.
Note that the default setting of this value is optimized for the Matrox Supersight SHB-5520 board.

Serial Port for Out-of-band Management/Windows

Emergency Management Services Console Redirections sub-submenu
The Serial Port for Out-of-band Management/Windows Emergency
Management Services Console Redirection Settings sub-submenu allows you to
set the transmission settings for console redirection used by an Out-of-band port
and local monitoring system. Unlike remote consoles (and terminal emulation
programs), out-of-band management systems (such as, Windows Emergency
Management Services (EMS), or Cisco Out-of-band Management) typically
allows for full control of the remote device from remote rebooting (including
BIOS and POST messages) to hardware sensor monitoring.
❖ Note that this sub-submenu is only available if Console Redirection is enabled.
Meaning
This item allows you to set which COM port will be used for Out-of-band management.
This item allows you to set the emulation of the remote terminal that can access the unit via the serial ports.
You must set the remote terminal type so that your unit and the remote terminal can communicate;
otherwise, a user on the remote terminal will not be able to perform remote actions on the unit's BIOS Setup
utility.
This item allows you to set the transmission speed in bits per second.
This item allows you to select the flow control for the serial port. Flow control is the ability of one device (the
slower device) to tell another device (the faster device) to stop sending data. Flow control can be managed
by hardware (a signal sent on one of the serial port pins) or software (a special character sent to the faster
device).
The choice of Hardware or Software flow control will depend on the device that you are connecting to the Matrox
Supersight unit (see the device's hardware manual).
