The Shell Tool window is now a

tip

window directed to the Sun server

ttyb

port.

Note –

Use a Shell Tool, not a Command Tool; some

tip

commands may not work

properly in a Command Tool window.

4. At your UltraSPARC system, enter the Forth Monitor so that the

ok

prompt is

displayed.

Note –

If you do not have a video monitor attached to your UltraSPARC system,

connect the UltraSPARC system

ttya

serial port to the Sun server

ttyb

serial port

and turn on the power to your UltraSPARC system. Wait for a few seconds, and
press Stop-a to interrupt the power-on sequence and start the Forth Monitor. Unless
the system is completely inoperable, the Forth Monitor is enabled, and you can
continue with the next step in this procedure.

There will be no echoed response.

The

ok

prompt shows in the

tip

window.

Note –

Do not type

Stop-a

from a Sun server being used as a

tip

window to your

UltraSPARC system. Doing so will abort the operating system on the server. (If you
accidentally type

Stop-a

, you can recover by immediately typing

go

at the

ok

prompt.) Typing

~#

in the

tip

window is equivalent to pressing

Stop-a

at the

UltraSPARC system.

tip

window, end your

tip

session and exit the

window.
