Notes For The BMC Management Utilities
=====================================================================
* Web browsers allow connecting to alternate ports including the
Serial Over LAN (SOL) Proxy on IP port 623. If you connect from a
Web browser, the data received from SOL Proxy will be jumbled, as
the IP port implements the telnet protocol rather than the HTTP or
FTP. For correct results, close the Web session and connect to SOL
Proxy using a telnet program.
* On initiating a console redirection session using SOL Proxy
while loading the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) operating system, you may
not be able to send data to the serial port. As Windows can block
the writing of data to the serial port, you may receive the
following message on attempting to send data using keyboard input:
"SOL not able to write to the system serial port."
The SOL session closes after displaying this message. The main SOL
menu displays to reconnect (or reconfigure settings).
