Baud Rate
The default is 57600. Make sure that the baud rate matches the baud
rate of the device you are connecting to the serial port on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter.
Dedicated to ASM
The default is Disabled. If you are using point-to-point protocol (PPP),
set this field to Enabled. If the value in this field is Enabled when the
server is restarted, the serial port remains dedicated to system
management and is not returned to the operating system.
You can dedicate the integrated serial port on the Remote Supervisor
Adapter to system management or share it with the operating system.
If the serial port is dedicated to system management, it serves only the
Remote Supervisor Adapter and is always available for dial-in or
dial-out alerting purposes. You cannot view the port using the
operating system or any application.
Note: To use this serial port, you must first install the ASM device
drivers as described in "Installing Advanced System
Management device drivers" on page 47.
