Accessing the System Console Through a
Terminal Server
The following procedure assumes that you are accessing ALOM CMT on the system
controller by connecting a terminal server to the serial management port (SER MGT)
of your server.

To Access The System Console Through a Terminal Server

1. Complete the physical connection from the serial management port to your
terminal server.
The serial management port on the server is a data terminal equipment (DTE) port.
The pinouts for the serial management port correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-
45 ports on the serial interface breakout cable supplied by Cisco for use with the
Cisco AS2511-RJ terminal server. If you use a terminal server made by another
manufacturer, check that the serial port pinouts of the server match those of the
terminal server you plan to use.
If the pinouts for the server serial ports correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45
ports on the terminal server, you have two connection options:
Connect a serial interface breakout cable directly to the SPARC Enterprise T1000
■
server. See "Accessing the System Controller" on page
Connect a serial interface breakout cable to a patch panel and use the straight-
■
through patch cable (supplied by Sun) to connect the patch panel to the server.
