--extserial com1, com2,
rad
This option sets the behavior of
the external serial connector.
When set to com1, the BIOS
maps the external serial connector
to COM port 1. The com1 setting
is the default.
When set to com2, the external
serial connector is routed to the
COM2 interface. Terminal escape
sequences can toggle the external
connector between the system
(COM2) and the remote access
device.
When set to rad, the external
serial connector is routed to the
remote access device interface.
Terminal escape sequences can
toggle the external connector
between the system (COM2) and
the remote access device.
This option can be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --extserial=
com1
extserial=com1
The --serialcomm option can be
used with the external serial (--
extserial) option instead of the --
conred (available on systems
earlier than Dell PowerEdge x9xx
systems) option.
PowerEdge x9xx
and later systems
