--extserial com1, com2, rad 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
PowerEdge x9xx systems) option.
