Accessing the Central Management Utility Using a
VT100-Compatible Terminal
The procedure that follows describes how to use a VT100-compatible terminal or
a PC running a terminal emulator program to access the central management
utility.
NOTE:
Using a VT100-compatible terminal or terminal emulator requires that you
first use a PC monitor and keyboard to run the c:\HOTWIRE\hotwire.exe
file or perform the procedure described in
Automatically Running the Central
Management Utility
on page 3-5 so that hotwire.exe runs automatically
at boot time. Because the terminal-based central management utility does not
report operating system errors, it is recommended that you have a keyboard
and monitor attached to the CO PC.
Do not exit the central management utility from the terminal. If you do, you
must restart the utility from the PC keyboard as described in Step 3 in the
following procedure or reboot the CO PC if you have configured the utility to
run automatically at boot time as described in
Automatically Running the
Central Management Utility
on page 3-5.
 Procedure
1. Ensure that the terminal interface options of the central management utility
are appropriate for your environment. See
Setting the Terminal Interface
Options
on page 3-4.
2. Connect the VT100-compatible terminal or terminal emulator to the
appropriate COM port of the CO PC.
