How can I connect to sun fire v125 with serial mgr port by hyperterminal

maqeileen

Hi there!

My c.o. got a sun fire v125 server.My mission is finish setting up the server.But as I followed the sun
fire v125's document, it aint be connected to this server with serial mgr port by using windows xp hyperterminal .

My step as:

step1. Find the original RJ45 net cable from the v125 box, and put one side into
Serial MGR Port of V125.

step2. Combined the RJ45 net cable's other side with DB-9 converter,
then plug the DB-9 converter into the PC's serial port(9 pins).

step3. start the pc(windows xp sp2), and then creat a hyperterminal link in COM1 as:
Bits/Sec--9600, DataBits--8, Parity--None, Stop bits--1, Flow control--Xon/Xoff
And then pause connect. make it hang up.

step4. push the sun fire v125 power button. after 1mins, resume the hyperterminal,
connect to the v125.

as above all is all my step here. Somewhere incorrect?if theres no problem, why can't I receive the
"sc> " promote?
Theres only one thing what i can do is input from keyboard....?

I had known that there will be promoted the "sc> " after you start the connection of hyperterminal with the correct steps?

BTW,I had input "#." with enter key, but it doesnt work!

Is there anybody met this problem as mine? Or can you give me some hits?

Thank you for your reading.

what is your DB-9 converter type: terminal or modem? You need terminal. Most likely it is the wrong cable/adaptor combination that causes the problem.

If your V125 is a used or a second-hand machine, it is possible that
the ALOM was configured to use the Ethernet network management (NET MGT) port.

Of ourse it is combined with normal rj45 net cable, and I use the terminal, not the modem.thank you for your advise.

I knew what are you talking about. If it was confired by Ethernet,
it is never can be connected without change the sc environment?
copy that. Thank you for you hit.
