How to Connect to a Node's Console Through the Terminal Concentrator

Language:

The following procedure enables remote connections from the administrative console to a cluster node's console by first connecting to the terminal concentrator.

Connect to a node by starting a session with the terminal concentrator port to which the node is cabled.
```
# telnet tc-name tc-port-number
```
tc-name
Specifies the name of the terminal concentrator.

tc-port-number
Specifies the port number on the terminal concentrator. Port numbers are configuration dependent. Typically, ports 2 and 3 (5002 and 5003) are used for the first cluster that is installed at a site.

Note - If you set up node security, you are prompted for the port password.

Log into the node's console.
After establishing the telnet connection, the system prompts you for the login name and password.

Set the terminal type, based on the type of window that was used in Step 1.
```
# TERM=xterm
# export TERM
```

Example 3 Connecting to a Node's Console Through the Terminal Concentrator

The following example shows how to connect to a cluster node in a configuration that uses a terminal concentrator. A Shell tool has already been started by using an xterm window.

admin-ws# telnet tc1 5002
Trying 192.9.200.1 ...
Connected to 192.9.200.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

(for sh or ksh)
phys-palindrome-1# TERM=xterm; export TERM
(for csh)
phys-palindrome-1# set term=xterm
