SMART IP EXTENDER

IPMI Version 1.5 - defines a serial connection to access certain system parameters

and perform system actions like powering down or a hard reset. Modern server

systems, supporting the IPMI V1.5 specification, provide a mode where the

externally available COM2 serial connection can be configured as a system

management port (sometimes called an emergency management port). IP Extender

may use this port in order to enable remote system management operations.
