Connecting the RSN Console Server
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 2404, V 4408, V 6408, or V 6512
system requires a physical connection to either an AA-E97900, AA-E97700, or
AA-E96600 RSN console server.
