172 Configuring and Using Serial Over LAN
NOTE: All versions of the Windows operating system include 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 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
®
prompt
supports ANSI terminal emulation, and the BIOS needs to be set for ANSI emulation
to display all the screens correctly.
