Terminal Port

Direct access through the terminal port allows you
to remain on the system during system boots. A
Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal
emulation program for connecting to the terminal
serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX
can use the emulator TIP.

Modem Port

You can access the Administration Console from a
remote terminal using an external modem attached
to the modem serial port.

IP Interface

An IP interface is the connection between the
CoreBuilder system and a subnet. It allows you to
manage the system through an Ethernet or FDDI
port.
With an IP interface, you can use the rlogin or telnet
commands to access the Administration Console
using TCP/IP from a host computer. You can also use
an IP interface to manage the system with an
external management application.

At the prompt, enter:

At the password prompt, press [Return].

The Administration Console top-level menu appears
as shown here. Use this menu to change the
terminal serial port baud rate or configure your
system for another management access mechanism.
