3.2.1

Setting Up a TIP Connection

A TIP connection enables a remote shell window to be used as a terminal to display
test data from a tested system. The serial port B of a tested system is connected to
another Sun workstation monitor or TTY-type terminal.
To set up a TIP connection, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the serial port of the tested system to the serial port of a second Sun
workstation using a serial null modem cable (connect cable pins 2-3, 3-2, 7-20, and
20-7), as shown in

2. At the second Sun workstation, check the /etc/remote file by changing to the
/etc directory and editing the remote file. The following sample remote file text
shows connection to the serial port:
hardwire: /dv=/dev/term:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:
3. In a shell window on the second Sun workstation, type tip hardwire.
% tip hardwire
connected
The shell window becomes a TIP window directed to the serial port of the tested
system. When power is applied to the tested system, POST messages are displayed
in this shell window.
4. When POST is completed, disconnect the TIP connection as follows:
