Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1009409.1 : How to configure RSC modem port for dial-in.
PreviouslyPublishedAs 213007 Symptoms I would like to use the RSC modem for remote Solaris[TM] support. Is there a procedure to configure the RSC modem? Resolution The PCMCIA modem port that comes equipped with the Remote System Control (RSC) card (Part No. 501-5856) is multi-functional. The RSC modem can send alerts to any paging service that complies with the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP). It can also be used as a PPP server, for general Solaris[TM] Administration (if OBP input and output devices have been configured for 'rsc-console') and troubleshooting a down machine. Each application has it's own setup procedure but this document will only cover remote dial-in for general Solaris administration. The procedure for configuring the RSC modem is outlined below.
Procedure
1.) Install Remote System Control V2.2.3 software. Refer to http://www.sun.com/servers/rsc.html for software download. 2.) Create an RSC admin account. You will need an RSC admin account to login to the RSC card because your Solaris[TM] login will not work. This account will also be used for alternating between the RSC interface and Solaris[TM] console. Below are steps to create an RSC admin account. Example below creates an RSC account called 'rscadmin'. Login to SUN machine with the RSC card. # cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc # ./rscadm useradd rscadmin <-- create the admin user # ./rscadm userperm rscadmin123 cuar <--- set admin perms # ./rsc/rscadm userpassword rscadmin <-- set admin's password
3.) Attach dedicated, tested telephone line to the RSC modem port. NOTE: Modem dial-in is pre-configured with the following settings. parity "none" 4.) Configure RSC modem port for Solaris[TM] console login. NOTE: Must complete pre-requisite steps prior. Configure OBP to redirect console I/O to the rsc card. # eeprom input-device=rsc-console # eeprom output-device=rsc-console # eeprom diag-out-console=rsc # reboot Alternate method Configuring OBP while machine is at OBP. ok> setenv diag-output-to rsc At this point you can dial the RSC modem number. When the RSC modem, answers you will get an rsc prompt. rsc> Refer to SUN Technical Instruction <Document: 1005997.1> Navigating between Solaris and RSC and SUN doc 45504 RSC Command Quick Reference Guide for additional RSC information.
