NOTE: This readme provides information about the Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) Management Utility version 4.6.

Notes For The BMC Management Utilities Installation and Configuration Notes Web browsers allow connecting to alternate ports including the Serial Over LAN (SOL) Proxy on IP port 623. If you connect from a Web browser, the data received from SOL Proxy will be jumbled, as the IP port implements the telnet protocol rather than the HTTP or FTP. For correct results, close the Web session and connect to SOL Proxy using a telnet program.
Running ipmitool on Linux systems requires the OpenIPMI driver to be installed and running. Use the command service ipmi start to start the ipmi service at runtime, and chkconfig ipmi on to start the services automatically at boot. While running the delloem LCD feature option- userdefined string, you may face an issue while setting the userdefined string that contains the character '&&' on Windows system. Define the string in "" to avoid this issue.
While performing console redirection through SOL Proxy, you may see a few garbled characters. This occurs while the SOL Proxy server refreshes the screen. You can verify your redirected output by using the same telnet client over the serial port to ensure that your telnet client supports console redirection features. If you see the same garbled text through the serial port, you may use another telnet client for better performance.
