Serial pass-thru | IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II manual

3.Use the following information to complete the quick setup information:

Serial pass-thru

The serial data of the server is directed to COM1 and then passes through to COM2. The pass-thru data can be accessed through COM2. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II command line interface (CLI) is also accessible through COM2. The following hardware setup is required for this option:

vConnect the serial port of your server to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II serial port that is labeled “COM1” by using a null modem cable.

vConnect the Remote Supervisor Adapter II serial port that is labeled “COM2” to a terminal server or client serial port by using a null modem cable.

Redirect to Telnet

Remote access to server serial data is provided over Telnet with the additional capability to remotely manage the system by using the Remote Supervisor Adapter II command line interface (CLI). The server serial port is connected to COM2, and you can access the data by using a Telnet CLI session to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II. The following hardware setup is required for this option:

vConnect the server serial port to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II serial port that is labeled “COM2” by using a null modem cable.

vConnect an Ethernet cable to the Remote Supervisor Adapter II Ethernet port.

Custom

Advanced users can configure for serial redirection by using custom settings on the Serial Port page. To access the Serial Port settings page, click Serial Port.

Disable serial redirect

This option disables the serial redirect function. COM1 can be used for modem alerting or PPP, and COM2 is disabled.
