Configuring Terminal Emulation Software
The CMC supports a serial text console from a management station running one of the following types of terminal
emulation software:
• Linux Minicom.
• Hilgraeve’s HyperTerminal Private Edition (version 6.3).
Perform the steps in the following subsections to configure the required type of terminal software.
Configuring Linux Minicom
Minicom is a serial port access utility for Linux. The following steps are valid for configuring Minicom version 2.0. Other
Minicom versions may differ slightly but require the same basic settings. See the information in the Required Minicom
Settings section to configure other versions of Minicom.
Configuring Minicom Version 2.0
NOTE: For best results, set the cfgSerialConsoleColumns property to match the number of columns. Be aware that
the prompt consumes two characters. For example, for an 80-column terminal window:
racadm config –g cfgSerial –o
cfgSerialConsoleColumns 80.
1. If you do not have a Minicom configuration file, go to the next step. If you have a Minicom configuration file, type
minicom<Minicom config file name> and skip to step 12.
2. At the Linux command prompt, type minicom -s.
3. Select Serial Port Setup and press <Enter>.
4. Press <a>, and then select the appropriate serial device (for example, /dev/ttyS0).
