I keep getting an IPMI error when doing console redirection

Question

I did have the remote management portion of IPMI working locally and externally but it is now giving me an "Usage: java RConsoleApp <Aster Card IP> <Port>" error message.

This is a Tyan GT20-B7002 barebones server and is running the IPMI firmware version S7002 R4.02

Any ideas?

I even opened up EVERY port externally and disabled firewalls.

Edit: Sep. 14, 2011 Sent Tyan technical support an email. I will update this when I hear back from them.

What client are you using for the remote IPMI? What is the network topology between the client and the server? Are they on the same network or is this remote over the internet or ? — toppledwagon, Sep 10 '11 at 03:20
I am using internet explorer for the remote IPMI. It is ASTER's IPMI that comes with Tyan. The server is on the LAN but I am also trying it remotely. Network Topology? — Chris Smith, Sep 10 '11 at 05:15

I had the same problem with a S7015. I managed to get it to work after:

Flashing the firmware. I found it at
https://www.tyan.com/Motherboards=S7012=S7012WGM4NR=downloads=EN
(I know the motherboard is not exactly the same as mine or yours but this didn't matter.
The BMC checks if the firmware is compatible before flashing)
Connecting with https://ip_of_the_bmc instead of https://hostname_of_the_bmc
Turning of my dns server so that my browser doesn't try to use reverse dns
Clearing the dns-cache of my desktop
Clearing the browser-cache of my desktop
Placing https://ip_of_the_bmc in the exception site list of the java control panel
