HP t5500 AB300A Server Console Solution - Page 5

Abstract This guide provides instructions for using the HP AB300A Server Console Solution. This solution uses an HP Compaq Thin Client T5500 as a terminal emulator for the HP9000 and Integrity servers. The HP 9000 and Integrity servers use a character cell ("dumb") terminal over a serial RS232 connection to act as the console for the system. This approach is used because the console has to be able to communicate with server hardware over a simple link that does not require an active server OS. Traditional dumb terminals offer limited functionality and they are increasingly difficult to supply. Audience Assumptions This guide is intended for the person who installs and administers servers.
