Server Management Overview - HP rp7420 Service Manual

Resetting the MP through a modem connection can cause Admin^M to display on every Enter
keystroke. Attempting a modem reset (MP command MR) does not clear this incorrect response.
This is not experienced with a telnet connection.
To regain control with a new Login prompt, follow these steps:
1. Enter Admin (case sensitive) and press < enter > < ctrl + enter > keys.
2. A new Login prompt is created.
3. To move on to the Password prompt, re-enter Admin < ctrl + enter >.
4. To reach the Main Menu, enter Admin < ctrl + enter >.
This fixes the ^M problem. The issue returns if the MP is reset through the modem.

Console and Session Redirection
Console and session redirection enables the console and session terminals to be connected over
the RS-232 port, a modem, or a LAN connection (web console).
