8.7.1 Defining the COM1 Data Flow
Use the set com1_mode command from SRM or SCM to define the
COM1 data flow paths.
You can set com1_mode to one of the following values:
through All data passes through SCM and is filtered for the escape
sequence. This is the default.
snoop Data partially bypasses SCM, but SCM taps into the data lines
and listens passively for the escape sequence.
soft_bypass Data bypasses SCM, but SCM switches automatically into
snoop mode if loss of carrier occurs.
firm_bypass Data bypasses SCM. SCM remote management features are
effectively disabled.
local Changes the focus of the COM1 traffic to the local 9-pin port if
