Sun Microsystems 440 manual Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type

2.Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type:

%telnet IP-address-of-terminal-server port-number

For example, for a Netra 440 server connected to port 10000 on a terminal server whose IP address is 192.20.30.10, you would type:

%telnet 192.20.30.10 10000

3.If you want to use TTYB instead of the serial management port, do the following:

a.Redirect the system console by changing OpenBoot configuration variables. At the ok prompt, type the following commands:

ok setenv input-device ttyb ok setenv output-device ttyb

Note – Redirecting the system console does not redirect POST output. You can only view POST messages from the serial and network management port devices.

Note – There are many other OpenBoot configuration variables. Although these variables do not affect which hardware device is used to access the system console, some of them affect which diagnostic tests the system runs and which messages the system displays at its console. For details, refer to the Netra 440 Server Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide (817-3886-xx).

b. To cause the changes to take effect, power off the system. Type:

ok power-off

The system permanently stores the parameter changes and powers off.

Note – You can also power off the system using the front panel Power button.

c.Connect the null modem serial cable to the ttyb port on the Netra 440 server. If required, use the DB-9 or DB-25 cable adapter supplied with the server.
