Baud Rate 9600
19.2k

57.6K
115.2k
This specifies the baud rate to be used when console
redirection is enabled. When the Emergency Management Port
shares the COM port for console redirection, the baud rate must
be set to 19.2k to match the baud rate for the Emergency
Management Port baud rate, unless the auto-baud feature is
used.
Flow Control None,
CTS/RTS
XON/XOFF
CTS/RTS +CD
None disallows flow control.
CTS/RTS is hardware-based flow control.
XON/XOFF is software-based flow control.
CTS/RTS +CD is hardware-based with carrier detection flow
control.
When the Emergency Management Port shares the COM port
for console redirection, the flow control must be set to CTS/RTS
or to CTS/RTS +CD, depending on whether a modem is used.

VT100+
VT-UTF8
This option selects the character set to send through the serial

Unicode characters. VT100+ works only with English.
PC-ANSI is the standard PC-type terminal.
