Accessing the remote console through Telnet

You can access the remote console through either the BIOS console text-redirection functionality
or a Windows Server 2003 text-based console. Only one Remote Console window can be open
at a time.

To start a remote console session, press the Esc+Q keys. To end a remote console session and
return to the CLP press the Esc+( keys.

NOTE:

When entering any ESC key sequences, extra characters might be buffered, causing the

remote side to receive function key presses incorrectly. To avoid this issue and perform function
key or alternate key sequences, press and hold the ESC key, release it, and then press the other
key sequence.

To change the timeout settings for telnet and for the remote console use Linux raw IPMI commands
or an

oemhp

command through telnet. The following examples disable timeout:

Linux IPMI tool Raw command example:

ipmitool raw 0x0c 0x01 0x02 0xf6 0x00 0x00

Disabling the security timeout using telnet example:

oemhp i 20 30 b0 18 00 01 02 f6 00 00 ef

The expected response is:

18 34 B4 20 00 01 00 DF .4......

NOTE:

These commands only work in firmware versions 3.05 or later.
