Wait 5 minutes for the server to initialize and then call again using an ASCII terminal. The server responds by requesting a password, if set, or presenting the service processor menus. The remote user now has control of the server. Note: For security, if the system is powered on by the remote power-on via ring indicate signal and the service processor detects an operator panel battery failure, the service processor causes the system to power off.
Service Processor Reboot/Restart Recovery Reboot describes bringing the system hardware back up; for example, from a system reset or power-on. The boot process ends when control passes to the operating system process. Restart describes activating the operating system after the system hardware is reinitialized. Restart must follow a successful reboot.
It also uses the hardware error detection logic in the processor to capture run-time recoverable and irrecoverable error indications. The firmware uses the error signatures in the hardware to analyze and isolate the error to a specific processor. The processors that are deconfigured remain off-line for subsequent reboots until the faulty processor hardware is replaced. This function allows usersto manually deconfigure or re-enable a previously deconfigured processor through the Service Processor menu.
The memory segment or DIMM that is deconfigured remains off-line for subsequent reboots until the faulty memory hardware is replaced.

Appendix D. General Attributes Required When Using a TTY Terminal The following general attributes are the default settings for the diagnostic programs. Be sure your terminal is set to these attributes. Note: Set these attributes before the diagnostic programs are loaded.
General Setup Attributes 3151 /11/31/41 Settings 3151 /51/61 Settings 3161 /3164 Settings Line wrap On On On The cursor moves to the first character position of the next line in the page after it reaches the last character position of the current line in the page. Forcing insert Off Off Tab Field Field Field The column tab stops are ignored, and the tab operation depends on the field attribute character positions.
Communication Setup Attributes 3151/11 /31/41) Settings 3151 /51/61, Settings 3161 /3164 Settings Turnaround character CR CR CR Selects the carriage return (CR) character as the line turnaround character. Interface EIA-232 EIA-232 EIA-232 Uses the EIA-232 interface protocol. Line control IPRTS IPRTS IPRTS Uses the ’permanent request to send’ (IPRTS) signal to communicate with system unit.
Additional Printer Attributes The following printer attributes are for a printer attached to the 3151, 3161, and 3164 terminals. 170 Printer Setup Attributes 3151/11 /31/41 Settings 3151 /51/61 Settings 3161 /3164 Settings Line speed 9600 9600 9600 Uses 19200 or 9600 bps (bits per second) line speed to communicate with the system unit. Word length (bits) 8 8 8 Selects eight bits as a data word length (byte).
Appendix E. Modem Configurations The service processor is designed to place little demand on the attached modem, thereby increasing the setup and connection success rates. Sample Modem Configuration Files Several sample modem configurations files are supplied that either work directly with your modem, or provide a good starting point for a custom setup, if required.
PTSN (for Public Telephone Switched Network). The service processor expects to use the modem on the public network, so the telephone line should attach to the PTSN connector. If No, continue with step 3. 3. Does your modem respond to the extended command set (prefixed with &)? If Yes, go to step 5. OR If No, continue with step 4. 4. Does your modem respond to: v ATZ reset command, OR v ATZn reset commands, where n can be 0, 1, and so on? If ATZ, configuration file modem_z.cfg is recommended.
Note: Some modems, such as the IBM 7857-017, are not designed for the paging function. Although they can be used for paging, they return an error message when they do not get the expected response from another modem. Therefore, even though the paging was successful, the error message causes the Service Processor to retry, continuing to place pager calls for the number of retries specified in the Call-Out Policy Setup Menu. These retries result in redundant pages.
2. Copy the /usr/share/modems/modem_f.cfg file to a new file with a different name (for example modem_fx.cfg). 3. In the new file (modem_fx.cfg), change the line Send "ATE0T\r" to Send "ATcccE0T\r" where ccc is the added command as specified your modem manual, as follows: Change the third line of each of the following stanzas: v condout v condin v ripo 4. Save the changes.
Ring Detection Most modems produce an interrupt request each time they detect a ring signal. Some modems generate an interrupt only on the first ring signal that they receive. AT&T Data Port 2001 is an example of such a modem. The service processor uses the ring interrupt request to count the number of rings when Ring Indicate Power-On (RIPO) is enabled. If your modem produces an interrupt on only the first ring, set Ring Indicate Power-On to start on the first ring.
The modem command &Dn (where ’n’ is a number) generally sets the modem response to the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal from the server’s serial port. The desired response is that the modem will hold a connection while DTR is enabled, and drop the connection when DTR is released. This is the mechanism by which the server hangs up on a connection under normal conditions. Consult your modem manual for its specific response scheme for the &Dn command.
To set up a remote terminal session, dial into the service processor and start the system. After the operating system is loaded and initialized, the connection will be dropped. At this point, you call the server back and the operating system will answer and offer you the login prompt. Prevention Strategy The disconnect is caused by the operating system when it initializes the Primary Console.
