Connecting to ALOM

The server's Ethernet port is labeled NET MGT, and the serial port is labeled SERIAL MGT. Refer to your server's Installation Guide for more information about these ports and how to connect devices to them.

Here are several ways to connect to ALOM:

Connect an ASCII terminal directly to the SERIAL MGT port.
Use the telnet command to connect to ALOM through the Ethernet connection attached to the NET MGT port.
Connect an external modem to the SERIAL MGT port and dial in to the modem. Note that this port does not support outgoing calls to the external modem.
Connect a port on a terminal server to the SERIAL MGT port, and then use the telnet command to connect to the terminal server.

For more information about these connections and other types of connections (such as tip connections), refer to your server's Installation and Administration Guides.
