Remote System Control (RSC) is a secure server management tool that lets you

provides remote system administration for geographically distributed or
physically inaccessible systems. For additional details, see "Remote System

How to Attach an Alphanumeric
Terminal

Before You Begin

If your server is configured without a local graphics console, you need to attach an
alphanumeric terminal (or establish a tip connection) to the server in order to install
the system and to run diagnostic tests. For background information, see "About
Setting Up a Console" on page 49.
Alternatively, you can install a local graphics console on the server; see "How to
Configure a Local Graphics Console" on page 51.
For information about establishing a tip connection, see the OpenBoot 3.x Command
Reference Manual, an online version of which is included with the Solaris System
Administrator AnswerBook that ships with Solaris software.

What to Do

1. Connect the terminal's data cable to serial port A on the server's rear panel.
