Recovery StrategyThe recovery strategy consists of making two calls to establish a remote session. This solution is theeasiest to implement and allows more freedom for configuring your server’s serial ports.To set up a remote terminal session, dial into the service processor and start the system. After theoperating system is loaded and initialized, the connection will be dropped. At this point, call the serverback and the operating system will answer and offer you the login prompt.Prevention StrategyThe disconnect is caused by the operating system when it initializes the Primary Console. The tests listedin “Transfer of a Modem Session” on page 439 are conducted with the remote terminal selected as theprimary console to manifest the modem’s response to DTR transitions.v If a local ASCII terminal or a graphics console is to be a permanent part of your server, then make oneof them the primary console. Your remote terminal will no longer experience the connection loss.v If a local console is not a permanent part of your server, you can still assign either the unused graphicsconsole or the unused serial port as the primary console. This gives you the desired seamlessconnection at your remote terminal.v If you choose to use the unused serial port as the primary console, some initialization traffic will be sentto any serial device attached to that port. As a result, that serial device’s connection and function couldbe affected. These impacts may make that port unattractive for devices other than a temporary localASCII terminal.440 EserverpSeries 615 Service Guide
