NOTE: If you change these values to lower values, the console redirection
feature of SOL may experience a reduction in performance. Furthermore,
the SOL session must wait to receive an acknowledgement for each packet
before sending the next packet. As a result, the performance is
significantly reduced.

Network/Security

NOTE: Each blade server only supports one active SOL session through
SSH or Telnet protocol.
Table 9-3. Serial Over LAN Configuration Advanced Settings
Setting Description
Character
Accumulate
Interval
The typical amount of time iDRAC6 waits before sending a partial
SOL data packet. This parameter is specified in milliseconds and
increments by 10 milliseconds.
Character Send
Threshold
Specifies the number of characters per SOL data packet. As soon
as the number of characters accepted by iDRAC6 is equal to or
greater than the Character Send Threshold value, iDRAC6 starts
transmitting SOL data packets that contain numbers of characters
equal to or less than the Character Send Threshold value. If a
packet contains fewer characters than this value, it is defined to be
a partial SOL data packet.
