If you need to provide a new initialization string, see the documentation that came
with your modem. Your initialization string must contain commands that configure
your modem as follows:
v Command echoing OFF
v Online character echoing OFF
v Result codes ENABLED
v Verbal result codes ENABLED
v All codes and connect messages with BUSY and DT detection
v Protocol identifiers added — LAPM/MNP/NONE V42bis/MNP5
v Normal CD operations
v DTR ON-OFF hang-up, disable AA and return to command mode
v CTS hardware flow control
v RTS control of receive data to computer
v Queued and nondestructive break, no escape state
Note:
The abbreviations in these commands have the following meanings:
AA auto answer
CD carrier detect
CTS clear to send
DT data transfer
DTR data terminal ready
LAPM link access protocol for modems
MNP microcom networking protocol
RTS ready to send
Configuring the dual serial connectors for serial redirection
Note: This feature is not available for the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine
on some server models.
You can use the ASM breakout cable with dual serial connectors to connect the
server serial port (using a null modem cable) to a client workstation that uses a
terminal-emulation program such as Hilgraeve HyperTerminal or to a hardware
terminal server (also using a null modem cable). The Remote Supervisor Adapter II
acts as a pass-through device. Using this single serial connection to a terminal
server or client workstation, a system administrator can access the serial features of
both the operating system and the Remote Supervisor Adapter II. The Remote
Supervisor Adapter II command-line interface (CLI) provides text-based power
control and server reset ability.
To use the ASM breakout cable with dual serial connectors for a single serial
connection to a terminal server, make sure that:
v Your server basic input/output system (BIOS) supports the single serial
connection. This BIOS serial support is needed to provide power-on self-test
(POST), setup, and end-to-end remote access.
