Hi Lonnie,
It is good that you already have Reflections. I think you misunderstood what I was trying to convey to you.
On the back of the D class, there is a 9 pin connection labeled "Serial 1/Console" (I just looked). Since you dumb terminal style console is dead and you don't want to buy a new one, you can use a PC or Laptop as the console instead. Plug one end of a null modem cable into "Serial 1/Console" and the other end into a serial port on the PC or laptop. Then when you create your connection in Reflection, use COM1 instead of the network. This will give you access to the console directly, not a remote connection.
You may have another piece of hardware you can use instead. We use a Digi Portserver which allows us to connect all the serial outputs of our Unix boxes into a switch that we can access via the network.
Either way, the console is always available even if the box isn't on the network because you are connecting to the console serial port.
I hope this makes sense. There really is no other way out of it. You either need to purchase a new console or connect some other piece of hardware to the console serial port to do what you are asking.
Thanks,
Tony
