Menu option 2 allows you to enable, disable, and configure the SOL defaults, including the
minimum user privilege level required for activating SOL and the communication baud-rate.
Menu options 3 and 4 allow you to establish a SOL remote console session through the SOL Proxy
main menu. Menu option 3 establishes a SOL session without changing the remote system's state.
This option is ideal for connecting to the Microsoft SAC/EMS or the Red Hat Linux console.
Menu option 4 reboots the remote managed system and establishes a SOL session. This option
best suited for performing BIOS setup and system configuration tasks.
To exit an active SOL session, use the <~><.> character sequence. The sequence is used to
terminate SOL and return you back to the top-level menu.
