Connectivity to HP-UX PA Risc Server

[GSB_3]

Hi,

I have a laptop which doesn't have a serial port. It has got USB, RJ45 & RJ11 port. Please tell me how can I connect this to HP-UX PA Risc server. Which cable I can use and how?

Thanks

Best solution would be a converter from your PC's USB to the servers serial port.

You can also connect via network, of course.

Shalom,

Buy a usb to serial adapter and connect it to the pa-risc boxes console port.

hyperterminal or procomm will make he connection easily.

thanks for the reponse. I want to connect without network.

Please tell me whether all the HP-UX PA Risc servers has 25 pin female serial port or some of them has 9 pin as well.

Thanks again

All servers have a 9 pin connector.
On some models there is a special "W"-cable with 1 25pin and 3 9pin connectors (UPS/console/modem).

ILO serial is 9 pin - http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-5984/ch02s01.html

As per Steven's reply.. I can use a usb to serial adapter and connect it to the pa-risc boxes console port and hyperterminal or procomm will make the connection.

Pls let me know which connection I have to select in hyperterminal for that. Is it COM1?

[Torsten.]

It is probably COM1, but check the software settings for your adapter.

You may also use the current putty software (serial) to connect.

I've come to the game late but I've always kept a USB/Serial converter for connection to either Sun or HP servers. I also grabbed the 9-pin connectors from a Cisco device in case I need that. I also prefer VanDykes SecureCRT because of it's flexibility on a single interface. I use it for SSH/SFTP/Telnet/FTP/Serial connections.

My device has always comes up as COM4.

For HP I set:
Speed 9600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Parity None
Flow XON/XOFF
These settings should work unless you have changed things

For Sun (if interested) is the same.
