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. You can open 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

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......

You can disable telnet timeout through the HTML option on the Network Settings screen.

NOTE:

These commands only work in firmware versions 3.05 or later.
