10.3 Installing a Terminal as an Alternate System Console
6. Find the coiled keyboard cable that came with your terminal. Notice that
it has telephone-jack-type connectors at both ends, and that one end has a
keyboard icon.
Plug the end of the terminal keyboard cable with the keyboard icon into
the connector on the side of the terminal.
7. Plug the other end of the terminal keyboard cable into the modular
connector on the end of the terminal keyboard.
8. Connect a power cord to the terminal and to a power outlet.
9. Turn on the terminal and the system unit and wait for the system self-test
to finish before proceeding. The workstation monitor, rather than the
terminal, is still acting as the system console at this point.
10.3.2 To Activate the Terminal as the System Console
You must set the console environmental variable to s to make the terminal
your system console. The operating system will then be under the control
of the terminal each time you boot the system, until you change the console
environmental variable again.
If you are using a terminal and have no graphics monitor, you need not set the
variable to s because the system will default to the terminal.
1. Follow the instructions that came with your worksystem software to shut
down the software.
2. To activate the terminal as the system console, type
setenv console s
at
the workstation monitor console prompt and press Return.
