26 Netra 440 Server System Administration Guide • August 2004
Note – If you intend to use the Sun system’s serial port A rather than serial port B,
edit this entry by replacing /dev/ttyb with /dev/ttya.
The /etc/remote file is now properly configured. Continue establishing a TIP
connection to the Netra 440 server system console. See “Accessing the System
Console Through a TIP Connection” on page 22.
If you have redirected the system console to ttyb and want to change the system
console settings back to use the serial management and network management ports,
see “System Console OpenBoot Configuration Variable Settings” on page 31.
Accessing the System Console Through an Alphanumeric Terminal
This procedure assumes that you are accessing the Netra 440 server system console
by connecting the serial port of an alphanumeric terminal to the serial management
port (SERIAL MGT) of the Netra 440 server.

▼ To Access the System Console Through an Alphanumeric

Terminal

1. Attach one end of the serial cable to the alphanumeric terminal’s serial port.
Use a null modem serial cable or an RJ-45 serial cable and null modem adapter.
Connect this cable to the terminal’s serial port connector.
2. Attach the opposite end of the serial cable to the serial management port on the
Netra 440 server.
3. Connect the alphanumeric terminal’s power cord to an AC outlet.
4. Set the alphanumeric terminal to receive:
■9600 baud
■8 bits
■No parity
■1 stop bit
■No handshake protocol
Refer to the documentation accompanying your terminal for information about how
to configure the terminal.
