[SOLVED] Console connection to V240
My apologies if this is posted/answered elsewhere.

I have recently been tasked with getting 2 Sun V240's running Solaris 10 up and working. I should mention I come from the programming side of life with a small amount of networking on Windows 2003 servers.

They boot, no error lights, hd's are working fine. I cannot for the life of me get a console connection to see what's going on. No ALOM, no boot, nadda.

I am trying to go through the serial management port to a dell server which has a Centerpoint KVM. Yes, I do have the adapter from the kit (have tried 4, at least 2 are known working). To the knowledge of the office, no one has reset default for the serial connection.

Before I make an assumption that the setting s have been messed with and remove the battery, is there something I am missing?

Thanks much,

~Kuriosity

umcs

UMCS(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   UMCS(4)

NAME

     umcs -- USB support for serial adapters based on the MCS7820 and MCS7840 chips

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device usb
	   device ucom
	   device umcs

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   umcs_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The umcs driver provides support for various multiport serial adapters based on the MosCom MCS7820 and MCS7840 chips.  They are 2- or 4-port
     adapters with full-featured 16550-compatible UARTs and very flexible baud generators.  Also, these chips support RS422/RS485 and IrDA opera-
     tions.

     The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).

     Different ports on device are presented as sub-units, like /dev/ttyU0.1 and /dev/ttyU0.2.

HARDWARE

     The umcs driver was tested on the following adapters:

     o	 ST Lab U-360 two-port serial USB adapter
     o	 ST Lab U-400 four-port serial USB adapter

SEE ALSO

     tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4)

HISTORY

     The umcs driver appeared in ports since December of 2010.

AUTHORS

     The umcs driver was written by Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     This driver doesn't support access to any fine tunes of chip, like RS522/RS485 mode, non-standard baudrates, etc.
