Terminal Port
Direct access through the system processor terminal
port allows you to remain on the system and monitor
it during system boots. A Macintosh or PC
attachment can use any terminal emulation program
for connecting to the terminal serial port. A
workstation attachment under UNIX can use the
emulator TIP.
Modem Port
You can access the Administration Console from a
remote terminal using an external modem attached
to the system processor modem serial port.
IP Management Interface
An IP management interface allows you to manage
the system in-band, or out-of-band through an
Ethernet port. After you configure an IP management
interface with a unique IP address, you can use rlogin
or Telnet to connect remotely to the Administration
Console using the TCP/IP protocol from a host
computer, or you can use the embedded
Web Management software and an Internet browser,
or you can reach the SNMP agent from an external
management application.
Initial Management Access
Initially, you must access the system through the
terminal serial port. Configure your system using
these default settings for this port:
9600 baud
8 bits, no parity
1 stop bit
When you access the Administration Console using
the terminal serial port, you receive this prompt:
Select access level (read, write, administer):
1
At the prompt, enter:
administer
2
At the
password
prompt, press Return or Enter.
The Administration Console top-level menu appears.
The next sections describe how to use this menu to
set the terminal serial port baud rate, or to configure
the system for other management access methods.
