/dev/ttyb
is inaccessible.
Sometimes, a program will have changed the protection of
/dev/ttyb
(or the serial
port you are using) so that it is no longer accessible. Make sure that
/dev/ttyb
has
the mode set to crw-rw-rw-.
■
The serial line is in tandem mode.
If the
tip
connection is in tandem mode, the operating system sometimes sends
XON (^S) characters (particularly when programs in other windows are generating
lots of output). The XON characters are detected by the Forth word
key?
, and can
cause confusion. The solution is to turn off tandem mode with the
~s !tandem
tip
command.
■
The
.cshrc
file generates text.
The
tip
connection opens a sub-shell to run
cat
, thus causing text to be attached to
the beginning of your loaded file. If you use
dl
and see any unexpected output,
check your
.cshrc
file.

How to Set the Diagnostics Level
Before You Begin
Make sure that the power to the system is on and the keyswitch is in the Power-
On/Off position. Access your server’s system console either through a remotely
connected workstation or by an alphanumeric terminal or graphics console
connected to the server’s serial port. See:

“How to Attach an Alphanumeric (ASCII) Terminal” on page 34
