How to Set Up an Alphanumeric Terminal as the System Console

Before You Begin

To perform initial installation of the system, you need to attach an alphanumeric (ASCII) terminal to the server. Alternatively, you can create a tip connection from another Sun system. For instructions, see “How to Access the System Console via tip Connection” on page 129.

After initial installation of Solaris OS software, if you have reconfigured the system console to take its input and output from different devices, you can follow this procedure to change back to using an alphanumeric terminal as the system console.
