To set up a remote terminal session, dial into the service processor and start thesystem. After the operating system is loaded and initialized, the connection will bedropped. At this point, you call the server back and the operating system will answerand offer you the login prompt.Prevention StrategyThe disconnect is caused by the operating system when it initializes the primaryconsole. The modem tests listed above are conducted with the remote terminal selectedas the primary console to manifest the modem’s response to DTR transitions.v If a local ASCII terminal or a graphics console will be a permanent part of yourserver, then make one of them the primary console. Your remote terminal will nolonger experience the connection loss.v If a local console is not a permanent part of your server, you can still assign eitherthe unused graphics console or the unused serial port as the primary console. Thisgives you the desired seamless connection at your remote terminal.v If you choose to use the unused serial port as the primary console, some initializationtraffic will be sent to any serial device attached to that port. As a result, that serialdevice’s connection and function could be affected. These impacts may make thatport unattractive for devices other than a temporary local ASCII terminal.Appendix E.
