Prevention Strategy

The	disconnect is		caused by the operating system primarywhen				it	initializes	the
console. The		tests	listed above	are	conducted with	the	remote terminal		selected as
the	primary	console	to manifest	the	modem's response	to	DTR	transitions.

If a local ASCII terminal or a graphics console is to be a permanent part of your server, then make one of them the primary console. Your remote terminal will no

longer experience the connection loss.

If

a local console is not a permanent

part of your server, you

can

still

assign either

the

unused

graphics console

or

the

unused

serial

port

as

the

primary

console. This

gives

you

the

desired seamless

connection

at

your

remote

terminal.

If you choose to use the unused serial port as the primary console, some

initialization traffic will be sent

to

any

serial

device

attached

to

that

port. As a

that

serial device's connection and function

could

be

affected. These

impacts may

make

that

port

unattractive

for

devices other

than

a

temporary

local

ASCII

terminal.
