116 Netra ct Server Installation Guide • September 2002
Connecting a Terminal Console to the
Server
One way to power on and off your server is to log in to the server either remotely,
where you would log in to the Netra ct server as root through another server on the
network, or directly, where you would connect a terminal console directly to your
Netra ct server. A terminal console can be an ASCII terminal, workstation, or PC
laptop.
For a direct login, the connection you use varies depending on the Netra ct server
model you have, the type of terminal console you are using, and the card that you
are connecting to:
■
If you are using an ASCII terminal to power on and off the Netra ct server, go to
“To Use an ASCII Terminal” on page 116.
■
If you are using a Solaris workstation to power on and off the Netra ct server, go
to “To Use a Solaris Workstation” on page 118.
■
If you are using a PC laptop to power on and off the Netra ct server, go to “To
Use a PC Laptop” on page 120.

To Use an ASCII Terminal
1. Get the appropriate cable(s) and adapter(s) and make the necessary connections.
You may need one or more cables and adapters in order to connect the ASCII
terminal to the server. The cables and adapters you need varies, depending on the
model server you have and the card that you are connecting to.
■
If you are connecting an ASCII terminal to a CPU or CPU transition card, use the
information in
TABLE 7-1
to make the necessary connections.
■
If you are connecting an ASCII terminal to an alarm card or alarm rear transition
card, use the information in
TABLE 7-2
