Serial Connection Settings
The settings you need to use for a serial connection are listed in TABLE 3-2. If you
need to perform binary data transfers (that is, transfers of anything more than
simple ASCII character streams), use the B Serial port, as communication on the A
LOM port is subject to interruption by the LOM device (see “Introduction to Lights-
Out Management” on page 43).
