Yes, you can do all the necessary setup with ipmitool.  I think ipmitool 
ships with a script to do that - you may need to customise it slightly 
to work on the R320s.  It might be useful to have a machine which has 
been setup via the BIOS tool to compare settings with (IPMI LAN and 
remote user settings in particular).

freeipmi might also have such setup scripts I think.
