Serial Over LAN Configuration

Character Accumulate Interval This parameter specifies the character accumulate interval in 5 milliseconds (ms) increments. The interval sets the typical amount of time that the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)/iDRAC waits before sending a partial serial over LAN (SOL) data packet. A partial data packet is a packet that has fewer characters to send than the number of characters specified by the Character Send Threshold.
NOTE: The value of the Character Accumulate Interval must be in the range of 1 to 255. If you enter a value outside this range, an error message is displayed.
Character Send Threshold BMC/iDRAC automatically sends an SOL data packet that contains this number of characters when this number of characters (or greater) has been accepted from the baseboard serial controller into the BMC.
NOTE: The value of the Character Send Threshold must be in the range of 1 to 255. If you enter a value outside this range, an error message is displayed.
