Modem Configuration in UNIX MP-RAS

Modem Configuration in UNIX MP-RAS
To enable console redirection while UNIX MP-RAS is running, enter the
following command:
contty -s /dev/tern/00 -b 38400 -p
where the -b parameter specifies the redirection baud rate.
To access the server’s BIOS and MP-RAS consoles from a single remote
terminal running PROCOMM PLUS, you must specify the “ansi-bbs”
terminal type in MP-RAS. Use the following instruction to specify this:
TERM = ansi-bbs
To send an initialization string to the remote support modem, use the
following command:
/usr/lib/uucp/setmodem -d -m safire288init /dev/term/00
Note: The setmodem command uses information in the /etc/uucp/Dialers file
to initialize the modem. The modem command in the Dialers file is designed to
work with the default settings of the Diagnostic Partition and Platform CD-
ROM modem utilities, and the default configuration of BIOS-level console
redirection.
If you change the modem command string in the Dialers file and send the
modified command to the modem, it might configure the modem incorrectly
for BIOS redirection. A similar problem might occur if an MP-RAS
application reconfigures the modem.
If you experience problems when performing BIOS-level redirection, go to the
Diagnostic Partition or Platform CD-ROM’s Modem Utilities menu and select
“Enable Auto Answer.” This synchronizes your modem with the current
BIOS-level redirection settings.
Setting Modem Passwords in UNIX MP-RAS
Some modems provide call-through and call-back password support. The
modem provided with your server supports these passwords.
