If the network connection between the ETM Server and the Card is up, you
can enter Fail Safe Mode from either the
ASCII Management Interface
in the Performance Manager or from a
Console
port connection.
To enter Fail Safe Mode from the ASCII Management Interface
1.
In the
Platform Configuration
subtree, right-click the Card and
click
ASCII Management
. The
ASCII Management Interface
appears.
2.
In the
Enter Command
box, type RESTART FAILSAFE. No
indication is given in the
ASCII Management Interface
and the Fail
Safe menu does not appear, but the Card restarts at the Fail Safe menu.
After one minute without input, the Fail Safe timer causes the Card to
automatically enter Fail Safe mode and the
Fail Safe
icon appears next
to the Card in the tree pane. You can now type commands to the Card.

Attach an RS-232 serial cable from the
Console
port to the
appropriate serial port on your terminal.

your terminal. Configure your terminal using the following serial port
settings:
