The following message appears.
T To Use ts_menu to Connect to a Serial Port
1. Log into the OnSite in one of the following ways.
a. Log in as “root” locally through the console port.
b. Log in as “root” by using telnet or ssh.
i. Make sure the port is configured for the connection protocol you
want to use.
See “To Configure Serial Ports [Wizard]” on page 174 or “To
Configure a Serial Port Connection Protocol for a
Console Connection [Expert]” on page 236 for how the
connection protocol is specified for a serial port, if needed.
ii. If you are using telnet, configure an escape character to use for
ending the telnet session later.
Because the default ts_menu escape character for telnet sessions is
^] (caret and right bracket), you need to configure a different
escape character for telnet at this time. Otherwise, using ^] to
exit the serial port console session created through ts_menu
also closes the telnet session on the OnSite.
If using telnet on the command line, you can use the -e option in
the format shown in the following screen example.
The following example shows the telnet command used to set
Ctrl+? as the escape character and to connect to an OnSite
whose IP address is 192.168.160.10.
c. Log in as “admin” through the Web Manager
See “To Connect to the OnSite Console as admin [Expert]” on page
193, if needed.
Exit from PM session
# telnet -e ^X OnSite_IP_address
# telnet -e ^? 192.168.160.10
