Call Retries
This setting is the number of times to retry calling the destination specied by the destination dial
string (if the call does not connect to the destination). A value of zero indicates no retries (the call is
only made once). The value entered must be in the range 0-7.
Terminal Mode Conguration View
The menu shown in Figure 54 allows a user to congure the settings used when terminal mode is
active. Terminal mode is an operating mode of the BMC such that the BMC can accept and respond to
commands via printable characters over a serial/modem channel. This includes a set of text commands
that the BMC understands as well as IPMI commands in hex format. More about terminal mode can
be found in the IPMI v1.5 Specication.

Terminal Mode Settings
This section describes the general settings that are exposed for conguration for terminal mode.
Enable/Disable Terminal Mode
This setting enables or disables terminal mode.
Enable/Disable Line Editing
This setting enables or disables line editing during a terminal mode session if checked. When line
editing is enabled:
1. The <Backspace> or <Delete> key can be used to delete the last character entered.
2. The <ESC> key can be used to delete an entire line.
3. Long message lines can be split across multiple-lines using a line continuation (“\”) character
followed immediately by a <CR><LF>.
Delete Control
This setting is enabled only if line editing is enabled. Users can choose between having the BMC
output a <Delete> character when <Backspace> or <Delete> is received, or have the BMC output a
<Backspace><Space><Backspace> sequence when <Backspace> or <Delete> is received.
Turn BMC Echo of Received Characters On
This setting allows a user to enable the BMC echoing characters it receives when in terminal mode.
Checking the checkbox enables this feature.
