Settings for the Serial Connections

The settings you need to use for a serial connection are listed in

TABLE 6-4

. If you

need to perform binary data transfers (that is, transfers of anything other than
simple ASCII character streams), use the Serial B port. Communication on the Serial
A/LOM port is subject to interruption by the Lights-Out Management device (see
Chapter 8).

Note –

If you ever change the OpenBoot PROM’s serial configuration and then

restart the server, the LOM device’s serial configuration will reflect the new settings.
By default, however, both the OpenBoot PROM and the LOM serial configuration
are as described in

TABLE 6-4

.
