Connection from the System Console

If a terminal, PC, or laptop is not available, you can use the system console or workstation to
establish a telnet connection to the desired port using the Solaris tip command.
1. Log on to the system as (or change the user to) root: su Password: <root password>
2. Determine if the system is configured as required. If the system is not configured as follows,
you cannot use the system console to open a tip session.
a. Change directory (cd) to /dev/term and check (ls -al) for symbolic links to device ports a
and b:
peri@scn1 {2} ls -al
total 14
2 drwxrwxr-x
8 drwxrwxr-x 17 root
2 lrwxrwxrwx
../../devices/pci@1f,4000/ebus@1/se@14,400000:a
2 lrwxrwxrwx
../../devices/pci@1f,4000/ebus@1/se@14,400000:b
b. Change directory (cd) to /etc and view (more or cat) the file remote. Check for the
following statements in the file:
hardwire:\
:dv=/dev/term/b:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$
:oe=^D:
hardwirea:\
:dv=/dev/term/a:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$
:oe=^D:
3. Connect the A/B connector of a Y adapter (Nortel part no. 9900854) to the serial port on the
application processor.
4. Connect the DB25 to 8-pin DIN cable from one of the ports (A or B) on the Y adapter to the
system port to be checked.
5. Open permissions on the symbolic links: chmod 777 /dev/term/*
6. Enter the command tip hardwire (default, for port B) or tip hardwirea (for port A).
Note:
When you close the tip session, permissions on the symbolic links return to their original state.
