Use this setting to Enable or Disable Console Redirection for Out-of-Band Management/Windows Emergency Management Services (EMS).

This submenu contains Console Redirection settings for Out-of-Band Management/Windows Emergency Management Services (EMS). Static display information for Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits is also shown in this submenu. It is only enabled if the above Console Redirection setting is enabled.

Microsoft Windows Emergency Managment Services (EMS) allows for remote managment of a Windows Server OS through a serial port. This setting allows you to specify which port to use (COM1 or COM2).

VT-UTF8 is the preferred terminal type for out-of-band management. The next best choice is VT100+ and then VT100. Options include ANSI (extended ASCII character set), VT100 (ASCII character set), VT100+ (extends VT100 to support color, function keys, etc.) and VT-UTF8(uses UTF8 encoding to map Unicode characters onto one or more bytes).

This setting selects the serial port transmission speed, which must be matched on the other side. Long or noisy lines may require lower speeds. Options include 9600, 19200, 57600 and 115200.

Flow control can prevent data loss from buffer overflow. When sending data, if the receiving buffers are full, a ‘stop’ signal can be sent to stop the data flow. Once the buffers are empty, a ‘start’ signal can be sent to re-start the flow. Hardware flow control uses two wires to send start/stop signals. Options include None, Hardware RTS/CTS and Software Xon/Xoff.
