-- port console HP-UX 10.20 --

[OLIVA_1]

Hello,

I need to know how is configured my console port on a D390 server (HP-UX 10.20).
Indeed I need to connect to it a terminal server (in order to have a remote console) and I want to check if the console port is really configured as below :
- Baud Rate : 9600 bps
- Data Size : 8
- Stop Bit : 1
- Parity : none
- Pace (Handshake) xon/xoff

Thanks for your help.

For a terminal like the 700/96 these settings are configured in the terminal and not in the D class server.

For HP web consoles the procedure is similar, configure from the web console:

Out of ~ 8 ports to attach to at the back of the D class the console's RS232 cable attaches to the upper left most port.

We run with terminal servers here on D390 serial ports. I run mine with 9600, 8bit, stop1, NO PARITY and they work fine.

HPUX has some control over the terminal settings. In /etc/inittab, the usual setup is

cons:123456:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty console console

This maps to the 'console' entry in /etc/gettydefs, and mine are

B9600 SANE CLOCAL CS8 ISTRIP IXANY TAB3 HUPCL

These are defined in /usr/include/sys/termio.h, and translate to 9600 baud, ignore modem, 8 bits, strip char...
