Line Commands

You can access the onboard configuration program by attaching a VT100 compatible device to the server’s serial port. These commands are used to set communication parameters for the serial port or a virtual terminal. Note that Telnet is considered a virtual terminal connection, and the only commands that apply to Telnet include exec-timeoutand password-thresh.
