Management Processor terminal type

[Achille Costabile]

Hi all,

I am trying to ignite an rp8420 and it boots OK, however, all the output is garbage. I have read some threads about this and the parameter to change is CA (Configure Asynchronous and Modem parameter) when logged into MP. Not sure if this will help, as I log in through a remot console.

I still tried CA a I get Local rs232 port parameter cannot be modified. Can anyone help please?

Thanks
AC

Hi,

Is your user an Admin ? Find this by SO command in config menu. The changes will be allowed only thorugh the Administrator or equivalent users.

HTH,

I'm definitely logged in as Admin. But it still comes back with a whole heap of scrambled characters and cannot modify the rs232 port

Hi,

it's better to use VT100 emulation than HP terminal with ignite. Did you check your connection speed? 9600 is the default, but you can modify this value.

I agree with Torsten - the vt100 emulation works the best when connecting remotely

If you use a local terminal you can hold down the D key when you turn it on to set it back to defaults if it is a HP terminal.

Thanks for the reply guys. I was unable to work this one out. In the end I just logged into the web console and selected the hpterm option when logging on. It seemed to like it after this.
Once again thanks.
