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 system. Serial port A or serial port B of a tested system is used to
establish the tip connection between the system being tested and another Sun system
monitor or TTY-type terminal. The tip connection is used in a terminal window and
provides features to help with the OBP.
To set up a tip connection:
1. Connect serial port A of the system being tested to serial port B of another Sun
system using a serial null modem cable (connect cable pins 2-3, 3-2, 7-20, and
20-7).

Note – The example shows connection to serial port B.
3. To use serial port A:
a. Copy and paste the serial port B remote file.
