pu mreset pu mhangup

pr portdev/ttyS0 specifies port 0 on the workstation. Choose "pr" setting to match the workstation port to which you connected the switch.

b.Verify that all users have permission to run minicom. Review the /etc/minicom.users file and confirm that the line "ALL" exists or that there are specific user entries.

„For Solaris: Modify the /etc/remote file to include the following lines. /dev/term/a refers to serial port a. Choose the "dv" setting to match the workstation port to which you connected to the switch.
