The attributes are:

dv      device to use for the tty
el      EOL marks (default is NULL)
du      make a call flag (dial up)
pn      phone numbers (@ =>'s search phones file; possibly taken from PHONES environment variable)
at      ACU type
ie      input EOF marks (default is NULL)
oe      output EOF string (default is NULL)
cu      call unit (default is dv)
br      baud rate (defaults to 300)
fs      frame size (default is BUFSIZ) -- used in buffering writes on receive operations
tc      to continue a capability

Once you connect the cabling and determine the /etc/remote file is properly configured, you can tip into the system.

# tip hardwire    - to tip through serial port B

# tip hardwire-a  - to tip through serial port A

# tip hardwire-a
connected

As an alternative to using a tip connection, the serial port may also be connected to a serial console/terminal server, but may require a custom RJ45-RJ45 cable depending on the pinout of terminal server ports. The pinout of the ALOM serial port is provided in the ALOM Online User Guide. An alternative to creating a custom cable, is to create a chain using the standard serial adapters and cables that come with the ALOM server and the terminal server. This chain may need gender changers and null-modem adapters included in the middle.

For a Microsoft Windows system, open a hyperterminal connection and select COM1 as the device. Click ok and then click "restore defaults". Finally click "ok" .

See also Connecting your console to a Sun Fire[TM]/Netra[TM] 1280/1290/E2900 serial LOM port (Doc ID 1003646.1)

Some of the basic commands are:

sc/lom>console  - to go to the system console from ALOM

#.              - to go to LOM/ALOM from the system console

sc/lom>break    - similar to the old L1-A
