2. Ensure that the /etc/remote file on the other system contains an entry for
hardwire.
Most releases of Solaris OS software shipped since 1992 contain an /etc/remote
file with the appropriate hardwire entry. However, if the system is running an
older version of Solaris OS software, or if the /etc/remote file has been
modified, you might need to edit the file. See
on page 14
3. In a shell tool window on the other system, type:
% tip hardwire
The system responds by displaying:
connected
The shell tool is now a Tip window directed to the Sun Netra T5440 server
through the system's serial port. This connection is established and maintained
even when the server is completely powered off or just starting up.
Note – Use a shell tool or a terminal (such as dtterm), not a command tool. Some
Tip commands might not work properly in a command tool window.

Modifying the /etc/remote File

This procedure might be necessary if you are accessing the Sun Netra T5440 server
using a Tip connection from a system running an older version of the Solaris OS
software. You might also need to perform this procedure if the /etc/remote file on
the system has been altered and no longer contains an appropriate hardwire entry.

▼ To Modify the /etc/remote File

1. Log in as superuser to the system console of a system that you intend to use to
establish a Tip connection to your server.
2. Determine the release level of Solaris OS software installed on the system.
Type:
# uname -r
The system responds with a release number.
