PRIMESTATION as LAN Console
5.4.1

Configuring the connected servers

5.4.1.1 Configuring the PRIMEPOWER systems (MR)
If you are using the LAN Console instead of a graphical console on a PRIME-
POWER(MR) - including keyboard and mouse - you have to redirect all console
inputs and outputs to serial port A.
A V.24 cable is used to make the connection at port A to the required port on
the RCA in accordance with the description in the section "Serial port for
connecting the console" on page 29, the "Cable types" on page 33 and the
definition in "mklancon - Create LAN Console configuration entries" on page 45.
The Solaris operating system detects which serial port is connected, i.e. no
explicit reconfiguration is required.
The terminal type needs to be set for the console login:
Ê In the /etc/inittab file, set the terminal type xterm in the entry for the console
login:
...:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g ... -d /dev/console -T xterm
The line speed for the RCA (RCA4) ports is set by default to 9600 baud in the
RCA setup routine, see PORT commands in the section "RCA commands".
5.4.1.2 Configuring the RM systems
The line speed of the respective RCA ports must be set to 19 200 baud for
connecting RM systems to the RCA (RCA4), see "Port commands" on page 77.
5.4.2 Configuring the LAN Console and RCA
This section describes the initial setup of the LAN Console, i.e. the definition of
console accesses to RM and PRIMEPOWER (MR) servers and initial configu-
ration of the RCA.
For an existing LAN Console setup it also describes the addition of further
console connections, configuration of an additional RCA and connection of
another LAN Console to an RCA that has already been configured.
Furthermore, it briefly deals with possible changes to the configuration of the
LAN Console and RCA.
