Method 2: from the local site - The onsite technician will use this procedure from the
local site. Use this method only when Method 1 will not work.

!

CAUTION:

CAUTION:

This method of redirecting the console port should be done only as a last
resort. This procedure resets the NVRAM defaults to the Sun factory
settings. These settings will remain in effect until the next reboot. This
procedure could also cause loss of data and disk failure, and could require a
disk restore.

To redirect control of the console port from the remote console back to the local console:

1. Turn the power off and back on for the CMS computer.

2. As the computer begins to boot up, double-click the power button on the front of the

system.

Note:

Note:

Double-clicking the power button during power-up is the equivalent to
Stop+N on a system that has a non-USB keyboard.

The prompt is displayed on the local console.

3. At the ok prompt, enter:

boot

4. When the system boots up, log in to the system as root at the local console.

5. To see what is on the ttya port, enter:

/cms/install/bin/abcadm -k

6. To start a port monitor on ttya, enter:

/cms/install/bin/abcadm -i -b 9600 ttya

The following message is displayed:

ttya set to incoming port 9600 baud
