Page 18

▼To Use the Serial Port

1.Ensure that the serial port on your connecting device is set to the following parameters:

■9600 baud

■8 bits

■No parity

■1 stop bit

■No handshaking

2.Establish an ALOM system controller session.

For instructions on how to use the ALOM system controller, see the Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) CMT v1.3 Guide.

Activating the Network Management Port

The network management port is configured on the chassis to retrieve network settings using DHCP and to allow connections using SSH. You might need to modify these settings for your network. If you are unable to use DHCP and SSH on your network, you must connect to the ALOM system controller using the serial port.

Note – There is no default password when connecting to the ALOM system controller for the first time. You must assign a password during initial system configuration.

For instructions on how to activate the network management port on the chassis, refer to the Sun Blade T6000 Chassis Installation Guide for instructions.

Accessing the System Console Through a Terminal Server

The following procedure assumes that you are accessing the ALOM system controller by connecting a terminal server to the serial port.
