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-timeout and password-thresh.
