Cable Connections Core I/O Connections Multiple users can interact with the management processor. From the MP MAIN MENU users can select any of the following options: enter management processor command mode, enter console, view event logs, view console history, display virtual front panel, enter console session, or connect to another management processor. Multiple users can select different options from the MP MAIN MENU at the same time. However, management processor command mode and console mode are mirrored. The MP allows only one user at a time to have write access to the shared console. Accessing the Management Processor You can connect to the management processor using the following methods: • The local RS-232C port using a local terminal • The remote RS-232C port using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote modem access is configured • The management processor LAN port using web console or telnet if login access through the management processor LAN is enabled NOTE The M cable (part number A6144-63001) must be connected to the DB25 connector located on the MP/SCSI board to allow a local terminal connection. The MP/SCSI board is located in PCI Slot 1. If a local terminal is not available, the management processor may be configured using a network connection. Details for configuring the management processor via a network are found in the section titled "Network Access to the Management Processor". Local Terminal Access to the Management Processor Communication with the management processor is established by connecting a terminal to the Local RS-232 port on the MP/SCSI Core I/O board. A terminal session may be established using a standalone terminal, or using terminal emulation software such as Reflection 1 running on a PC. During installation, communicating with the management processor enables such tasks as: • Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly • Setting the LAN IP addresses Setting Terminal Parameters After powering on the terminal, ensure the communications settings are as follows: • 8/none (parity) • 9600 baud • None (Receive) • None (Transmit) If the terminal is a PC using Reflection 1, check or change these communications settings using the following procedure: 1. From the Reflection 1 Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and select Connection Setup. 2. Select Serial Port. 3. Select Com1. 4. Check the settings and change, if required. Go to More Settings to set Xon/Xoff. Click OK to close the More Settings window. Chapter 4 61
