Connecting a Terminal Console to the Server
|
One way to power on and off your server is to log in to the server either remotely, where you would log in to the Netra CT server as root through another server on the network, or directly, where you would connect a terminal console directly to your Netra CT server. A terminal console can be an ASCII terminal, workstation, or PC laptop.
For a direct login, the connection you use varies depending on the Netra CT server model you have, the type of terminal console you are using, and the card that you are connecting to:
B.1 To Use an ASCII Terminal
1. Get the appropriate cable(s) and adapter(s) and make the necessary connections.
You may need one or more cables and adapters in order to connect the ASCII terminal to the server. The cables and adapters you need varies, depending on the model server you have and the card that you are connecting to.
- If you are connecting an ASCII terminal to a CPU or CPU transition card, use the information in TABLE B-1 to make the necessary connections.
- If you are connecting an ASCII terminal to an alarm card or alarm rear transition card, use the information in TABLE B-2 to make the necessary connections.

2. Access the "Set Up Menu" of the ASCII terminal and bring up the Serial Communications section.
3. Set up the serial port communications parameters.
The default settings should match the values reported on the host serial port.
- Hardwired modem connection
- No parity
- 9600 baud
- 1 stop bit
- 8 bit data
4. Test the connection.
Verify that communication has been established to the server and the
keyboard/display of the ASCII terminal.
B.2 To Use a Solaris Workstation
1. Get the appropriate cable(s) and adapter(s) and make the necessary connections.
You may need one or more cables and adapters in order to connect a Solaris workstation to the server. The cables and adapters you need varies, depending on the model server you have and the card that you are connecting to.
- If you are connecting a Solaris workstation to a CPU or CPU transition card, use the information in TABLE B-3 to make the necessary connections.
- If you are connecting a Solaris workstation to an alarm card or alarm rear transition card, use the information in TABLE B-4 to make the necessary connections.
