All,
I am baffled as to why I am having this problem. I hope I can find the
light at the end of the tunnel. Here it goes...
I have servers connected to an Annex terminal server. I have tried:
1. Replacing the annex terminal server
2. Replacing the rj-45/dsub 25 connectors
3. Replacing the cat5 cable that is connected between the ts/host
The configuration on the annex is as follows:
admin : show port=3
port asy3:
Port Generic Parameters
mode: slave location: ""
type: hardwired term_var: ""
prompt: "" cli_interface: uci
speed: 9600 autobaud: N
data_bits: 8 stop_bits: 1
parity: none max_session_count: 3
allow_broadcast: Y broadcast_direction: port
imask_7bits: N cli_imask7: Y
ps_history_buffer: 0 banner: Y
tcp_keepalive: 0 dedicated_address: 0.0.0.0
dedicated_port: telnet type_of_modem: ""
default_session_mode: interactive dedicated_arguments: ""
resolve_protocol: connect
Flow Control and Signal Parameters
control_lines: none input_flow_control: start/stop
input_start_char: ^Q input_stop_char: ^S
output_flow_control: start/stop output_start_char: ^Q
output_stop_char: ^S input_buffer_size: 1
ixany_flow_control: N need_dsr: N
forward_key: "" backward_key: ""
admin :
The configuration on the unix box:
# eeprom | grep -i tty
ttyb-rts-dtr-off=false
ttyb-ignore-cd=true
ttya-rts-dtr-off=false
ttya-ignore-cd=true
ttyb-mode=9600,8,n,1,-
ttya-mode=9600,8,n,1,-
#
The output when connecting to the box:
% telnet x.x.x.x
Trying x.x.x.x...
Connected to x.x.x.x.
Escape character is '^]'.
Rotaries Defined:
hosta 2
hostb 3
hostc 4
cli -
Enter Annex port name or number: 3
Port password:
Permission granted
Attached to port 3
hostb console login:
telnet> cl
Connection closed.
Now...unfortunately when I past the text into this xterm, "hostb console
login:" comes through in readable text. This is not the case on my other
xterm. It comes through with characters with umlaudaes and other
characters that I can not decifer. I can provide a screenshot if you are
interested since any attachments will be stripped from emails sent this
mailing list.
Anything that I'm missing. It only happens on hosts "b" and "c".
Ideas?
One other item, I have been told that the output from serial console is
readable when at OB level. At a certain point in the boot process, it
becomes unreadble. I can not see anything in the rc.X directories that is
changing the characteristics of the serial ports.
TIA,
Ryan
