The Primary System Manager Terminal
The primary SMT is for use by the system manager. For a direct connection, the SMT
must be located within 50 feet of the server cabinet.
The primary SMT displays status messages at initial power on, during system boot, and
during normal operation. The primary SMT also provides access to the SMT menus for
setting up and controlling the Aria voice messaging system. Disk-drive utilities for
maintenance tasks can be run only on the primary SMT.
