Serial Interfaces

In lieu of IP management access, serial access provides the user with direct access to the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller ACLI. The user must identify how their system allows for serial access. The serial interface can be a critical component of VM interface configuration as the user can make MACTAB changes via the serial interface without interrupting their own access during that management procedure.

Access to the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller serial interface is dependent on platform. Familiarity with the platform is required to understand serial configuration.

Virtual machine management software provides a simulated serial port service from which the user gets direct serial access to each system. See your virtual machine manager's documentation for instructions on accessing these serial ports.

Serial port configuration, via boot parameters, is the same across all platforms.
