Full Discussion: [SOLVED] Console connection to V240
Operating Systems Solaris [SOLVED] Console connection to V240 Post 302699359 by hicksd8 on Tuesday 11th of September 2012 12:29:15 PM
Old 09-11-2012
I'm not sure that I understand everything you've said but I'll hopefully write a few things that may help.

The box has a "network management port" and a "serial/console port" both of which are RJ45. The serial port is just that, a conventional RS232 only on a RJ45. The light blue coloured CISCO cables used for managing network switches work perfectly for this. The cable has RJ45 one end, and a DB9 the other. Just use an old PC or notebook with a plain old 9-pin serial port and use something like Hyperterminal. No flow control or anything like that. Power the system up from cold and if you get garbage on the PC terminal emulator then the baud rate is wrong. Set it 8-N-1.

You can't use the network management port until you've configured it; IP address, etc.

Post back any more questions.
