Configuring Linux XTerm for Telnet Console Redirection
Use the following guidelines when performing the steps in this section:
• When you are using the connect com2 command through a telnet console to display the System Setup
screens, set the terminal type to
ANSI in System Setup and for the telnet session.
• To ensure that the text is properly displayed, Dell recommends that you use an Xterm window to
display the telnet console instead of the default console provided by the Linux installation.
