Power5 9133-55A Serial Console connection issue
Hey All,
Trying to connect to the Power5 9133-55A serial console using a serial-to-usb converter (RS232). The other end is connected via null modem. Tried minicom, putty and other Linux utilities, no luck. The serial device shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0.
Tried 9600 8N1 XON/XOFF, no luck. There is simply no output on the screen and no change after pressing enter multiple times.
The 9133-55A is currently hooked up to an HMC and works fine that way but not via serial.
Could someone who has done this via Linux nudge me along and let me know what settings you used? Going to retry with putty and windows as alot of the videos indicate and post if it was successful.
Cheers,
DH

TCPSER(1) General Commands Manual TCPSER(1)
NAME
tcpser - emulate a Hayes compatible modem
SYNOPSIS
tcpser -d dev -s speed [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ...
tcpser -v port [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the tcpser command.
tcpser turns a PC serial port into an emulated Hayes compatible modem that uses TCP/IP for incoming and outgoing connections. It can be
used to allow older applications and systems designed for modem use to operate on the Internet. tcpser supports all standard Hayes com-
mands, and understands extended and vendor proprietary commands (though it does not implement many of them). tcpser can be used for both
inbound and outbound connections.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-h Show summary of options.
-p Port to listen on (defaults to 6400).
-t Trace flags: (can be combined)
s modem input
S modem output
i IP input
I IP output
-l Log level: 0 (NONE), 1 (FATAL) - 7 (DEBUG_X) (defaults to 0).
-L Log file (defaults to stderr).
The following can be repeated for each modem desired (-s, -S, and -i will apply to any subsequent device if not set again):
-d Serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0). Cannot be used with -v
-v TCP port for VICE RS232 (e.g. 25232). Cannot be used with -d
-s Serial port speed (defaults to 38400).
-S Speed modem will report (defaults to -s value).
-I Invert DCD pin.
-n Add phone entry (number=replacement).
-a Filename to send to local side upon answer.
-A Filename to send to remote side upon answer.
-c Filename to send to local side upon connect.
-C Filename to send to remote side upon connect.
-N Filename to send when no answer.
-B Filename to send when modem(s) busy.
-T Filename to send upon inactivity timeout.
-i Modem init string (defaults to `', leave off `at' prefix when specifying).
-D Direct connection (follow with hostname:port for caller, : for receiver).
