Remote Machine

[P.V.Ramesh]

We can access a machine either using HP Console(through serial port) or LAN port. If both are missing and have UNIX box and a serial cable. Through these accessories can i access the machine and know the status. If yes which file i have to edit to communicate between the systems.

Hi Ramesh,
I have never did this.
I think hyper terminal should work. connect laptop with serial connection and try to run hyperterminal.

Hi,

for this you'll have to configure UUCP, at least the basic files, and use the command "cu".
The files are:
/etc/uucp/Systems: how to reach the remote system
/etc/uucp/Devices: the local serial device to be used
/etc/uucp/Dialers: the local dialing *chat*
/etc/gettydefs: the serial parameters for the local device
/etc/inittab: the "getty" or "uugetty" command to permit serial login

and the command then looks like
cu remote-systemname

Read the man page about it, to learn the "~" commands (like CR ~ . CR, read: return tilda dot return, to close the connection).

HTH,
Wodisch
