Serial/Modem Channel Configuration Sub-task
The serial/modem channel configuration sub-task allows the user to modify settings that relate to
the serial/modem channel, set up dial strings to which alerts are sent, and specify the settings
related to sending alerts to those destinations.
This sub-task includes a screen that allows the user to configure the settings for the terminal mode
of operation of the serial/modem channel.
After completing this screen, click Next to move to the next screen to continue this sub-task. The
screen that is displayed when the Next button is clicked depends on which connection mode is
chosen:
If modem mode is selected, the next screen displayed allows setup of modem parameters
If direct connect is selected, since there are no configuration parameters to set, the next screen
displayed is the Destination Dial Strings screen.
Default Serial/Modem Configuration Settings Set By the SMU
The SMU sets some serial/modem configuration settings automatically. This information is listed
below, but is not displayed on the screen. The list of these settings is given below. Before this
information is set by the SMU, the user must click through the remaining Serial/Modem Channel
Configuration sub-task screens to click the Save button on the last screen.
Authentication type enables are enabled. These bits define what types of authentication are
enabled to authenticate messages sent to the BMC by users of different privilege levels. The
SMU enables authentication of type straight password, MD2, MD5, and none.
Basic mode is enabled, allowing basic serial communications to take place over the
serial/modem channel.
Session inactivity timeout is set to one minute.
Session termination bits are enabled to enable ending of a serial/modem session if an inactivity
timeout occurs or if DCD is lost.
