How to Access the System Console via a
Terminal Server
The following procedure assumes that you are accessing the system console device
by connecting a terminal server to the serial management port (SERIAL MGT) of the
Sun Fire V440 server.
For detailed information about system console options, see the Sun Fire V440 Server
Administration Guide.
1. Open a terminal session on the connecting device, and type:
% telnet IP-address-of-terminal-server port-number
For example, for a Sun Fire V440 server connected to port 10000 on a terminal server
whose IP address is 192.20.30.10, you would type:
% telnet 192.20.30.10 10000
Note – At this point, all system information will be delivered to you by way of the
ALOM system controller and its software. ALOM is the default method for
communicating with the Sun Fire V440 server. For detailed information about using
ALOM, consult the Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) 1.1 Online Help and
the Sun Fire V440 Server Administration Guide, which includes information about
reconfiguration options.
2. Continue setup with the section, "Prepare to Configure the Primary Network
Interface" on page 41.
