Using a Direct Serial Connection

Instead of setting up modem communications, you can use a null modem cable to
connect the server directly to a remote console through each computer's serial
communications port. You can use this type of connection when you want to set up a
remote console at the same site as the server. The figure below illustrates a direct
connection between an HP Remote Assistant installed in a server and a stand-alone
terminal.
