Sun Fire V890 - Unable to access RSC or Serial console

Hello Folks,

I am having trouble to login to rsc or serial console of V890.
The rsc2.2.3 has been configured with required parameters, resetrs and even rebooted. When serial port is connected to laptop, The hyper terminal does not get the console or POSt messages when the server is rebooting except the message "RSC Alert: Host system reset" and then nothing.

The input-device and output-device has been redicrected to rsc-console and diag-console-out is set to true.
On the other hand the net manegement port does not even ping but i can see the green link light blinking continously. The cable connected is confirmed to be connected to a working port on required subnet.

As seen below, i receive this prompt through KVM switch connection to serial port. When i try to login even with correct username and password it says invalid move s out as seen below. The prompt does not look to be right as it even displays password entered. The password entered "passw0rd" is displayed in the next "Please login" line.

Please help with suggestions as i am stuck.

RSC version 2.2.3

Please login: rsc
Please Enter password:

Invalid login.
Please login: passw0rd
Please Enter password:

Invalid login.
Please login:

sulogin

sulogin(1M)                                               System Administration Commands                                               sulogin(1M)

NAME

       sulogin - access single-user mode

SYNOPSIS

       sulogin

DESCRIPTION

       The  sulogin  utility  is  automatically invoked by init when the system is first started. It prompts the user to type the root password to
       enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type  EOF (typically <CTRL-D>) for normal startup (multi-user mode). The user should
       never directly invoke sulogin.

       The  sulogin utility can prompt the user to enter the root password on a variable number of serial console devices, in addition to the tra-
       ditional console device. See consadm(1M) and msglog(7D) for a description of how to configure a serial device to  display  the  single-user
       login prompt.

FILES

       /etc/default/sulogin    Default value can be set for the following flag:

                               PASSREQ         Determines if login requires a password. Default is PASSREQ=YES.

       /etc/default/login      Default value can be set for the following flag:

                               SLEEPTIME       If  present,  sets  the number of seconds to wait before login failure is printed to the screen and
                                               another login attempt is allowed. Default is 4 seconds. Minimum is 0 seconds. Maximum is 5 seconds.

                                               Both su(1M) and login(1) are affected by the value of SLEEPTIME.
