Setting Up a Console Connection to the
Server
In order to communicate with the server you must connect a console to it.
Whichever type of device you use as a console, make the physical connection to the
server by connecting to the appropriate port on the console and to the SERIAL MGT
port on the back of the server.
To Connect to the Server Using a Sun
Workstation
1. Connect to the server using an RJ-45 patch cable.
2. From a terminal session, type:
# tip /dev/term/a -9600
The tip command above is for a workstation that is using its ttya serial port to
connect to the server. If you later configure your workstation to use ttyb, type the
following to set up a tip session:
# tip /dev/term/b -9600
Note – The commands given here will change if the serial connection settings have
been reconfigured.
To Connect to the Server Using an ASCII
Terminal
1. Set up a connection between the terminal and the Sun Fire V210 and V240 server.
2. For the General terminal settings, refer to the terminal's operating manual.
