SOL Proxy DiagramThe SOL Proxy communication scheme enables the viewing and configuration of the BIOSsettings of a managed system, as well as resetting the managed system remotely using a telnetclient. SOL Proxy is installed as a daemon service and automatically starts each time the systemboots. SOL Proxy can accommodate only one telnet session at a time.A variety of telnet clients can be used to access SOL Proxy features. For example:• In a Windows environment, you can use a Command Prompt window as your console.However, function keys such as and will not operate correctly with this clientexcept on systems running Windows Server 2003.• In a Windows environment, you can also use any telnet application that supports VT100 orANSI emulation mode (such as HyperTerminal) as your console. HyperTerminal keymappings are based on the supported terminal emulation modes and do not support someuseful terminal types. For example, HyperTerminal does not support the “Linux” terminalmode (a modified VT100 terminal). If you use HyperTerminal to connect to a Red Hat Linuxconsole (redirected by SOL) the function and arrow keys may not work, based on the “tty”settings of the remote application.NOTICE: All versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system include Hilgraeve's HyperTerminalterminal emulation software. However, the included version does not provide many functions requiredduring console redirection. Instead, you can use any terminal emulation software that supports VT100 orANSI emulation mode. One example of a full VT100 or ANSI terminal emulator that supports consoleredirection on your system is Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal Private Edition 6.1 or later.
