• Serial-Over-LAN Proxy (SOL Proxy)
The SOL Proxy is a telnet daemon that allows LAN-based administration
of remote systems using the Serial Over LAN (SOL) and IPMI protocols.
Any standard telnet client application, such as HyperTerminal on

Microsoft
daemon's features. SOL can be used either in the menu mode or
command mode. The SOL protocol coupled with the remote system's
BIOS console redirection allows administrators to remotely view and
change a managed system's BIOS settings over a LAN. The Linux serial
console and Microsoft's EMS/SAC interfaces can also be accessed over a
LAN using SOL.
NOTICE:
All versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system include
Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal terminal emulation software. However, the included
version does not provide many functions required during console redirection.
Instead, you can use any terminal emulation software that supports VT100 or ANSI
emulation mode. One example of a full VT100 or ANSI terminal emulator that
supports console redirection on your system is Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal Private
Edition 6.1 or later.
NOTE:
See your system's User's Guide for more information about console
redirection, including hardware and software requirements and instructions for
configuring host and client systems to use console redirection.
NOTE:
HyperTerminal and telnet settings must be consistent with the settings on
the managed system. For example, the baud rates and terminal modes should
match.
NOTE:
The Windows "telnet" command that is run from a MS-DOS
supports ANSI terminal emulation, and the BIOS needs to be set for ANSI emulation
to display all the screens correctly.
