Selecting Configuration>Serial/AUX>Physical Ports in Expert Mode, selecting one or more serial ports, and then selecting the Other tab, brings up a screen like the one shown in the following figure.Web Manager Configuration>Serial/AUX>Physical Ports> Other ScreenAn administrative user can use this screen to configure a non-default TCP port, a port IP alias, TCP keep-alive interval, idle timeout, stty options, break interval, break sequence, and login banner for a serial port. An administrative user can also configure a remote host for a dumb terminal to access and the terminal types for a connected dumb terminal.Note: Some Sun servers are designed to switch to monitor mode when they receive a break signal on the console port, which allows the system administrator to reset, reboot, or reconfigure the server in the case of a system lockup. To reduce the risk of false breaks bringing down that kind of server, an administrative user can define the break signal as a sequence of ASCII characters that are not likely to be accidentally generated.When one of the dumb terminal connection options in the General screen is selected (see Protocols for Dumb Terminals Connected to Serial Ports), additional fields appear on this screen and some fields disappear, as shown in the following figure.Web Manager Configuration>Serial/AUX>Physical Ports>General Screen—Other Screen When Terminal Protocol is SelectedFor dumb terminals dedicated to remote servers you need to specify a host IP address in the “Host to Connect” field. For any type of dumb terminal, you need to enter the type of terminal in the “Terminal Type” field.To Configure TCP Port Number, STTY Options, Break Interval, and the Login Banner for a Serial Port Connected to a Console [Expert]
1. Go to Configuration>Serial/AUX>Physical Ports in Expert mode, and select a port or ports to modify.
3.
4. To assign a name to the port’s IP address, enter an alias in the “Port IP Alias” field. For example, if the serial port is connected to a CISCO router, you could assign it a name like “cisco_router1.”
5. If connecting to a server running the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system through the emergency management services (EMS) console, check the “Windows EMS” checkbox.
6. To change the keep-alive interval, enter another number in the “TCP Keep-alive Interval” field.
7.
10. To change the break sequence, enter a new sequence in the “Break Sequence” field.
11.
12. To Configure Dumb Terminal Server Connection Options [Expert]
1. See Protocols for Dumb Terminals Connected to Serial Ports and To Configure a Serial Port Connection Protocol for a Console Connection [Expert]).When one of the dumb terminal connection protocols are selected three tabs are greyed out of the six Serial/AUX>Physical Ports>[Select a serial port] tabs.
3. To change the port number used to access the serial port, enter another number in the “TCP Port” field.
4. To change the keep-alive interval, enter another number in the “TCP Keep-alive Interval” field.
5.
8. To change the break sequence, enter a new sequence in the “Break Sequence” field.
10. For a dedicated dumb terminal, enter the IP address of the desired host in the “Host to Connect” field.
