Connecting the RSN Console Server and Optional Modem
Connecting a system to the Stratus RSN allows the CAC to remotely diagnose,
troubleshoot, and resolve problems online. To connect to the RSN, ftServer systems
use a modem or an Internet connection. For information on processes, files, and
commands required for RSN support, see
OpenVOS System Administration:
Administering and Customizing a System (R281).
When a configuration uses a modem for the RSN connection, OpenVOS requires
devices.tin
file entries. For information on these entries, see OpenVOS System
Administration: Configuring a System (R287).
Any RSN bridge module on a Stratus ftServer V 6624 system requires a physical
connection to an AA-E97900 RSN console server. The AA-E97900 RSN console
server can provide the connection either through the Internet or through an AA-C72100
modem.
