Serial Port

[durban56]

Help needed!!!
I have a v880 that i'm tryng to get on via the A/B serial port, but I keep getting the following output on my terminal screen:

"çëéëíÛÛëÛÛÛííÛíëÉçÛéÛûÙ ÉœÛííÛÛëÛÙÛíÛÛËÍËËëËí§ÛËëùíÛëËÛ»ÛËɶ© ËëÛËÛéÛëÛÛÛéíÛíéËÛ

·çf17n³³³²Ù³³Û 6gÏ3É·ä6{³;ÎÉ3sÉggÛã ·ÛÏf&ÛÛºÓ"

I can not get a readable OBP.

Is there a way to fix this!!!!

Is there

I dont have a readable unix prompt or OBP. I HAD a RSC adapter that was passwd protected , of which I dont have the passwd, so now I'm trying to go through the serial port.

What communication settings are using on this terminal (baud rate, parity, stop bit, etc.)?

still can't break that password.

these are the pinouts I use to attach our v880 to my pc:

Null modem pinout DB25 to DB9: [Top of Page] [Pin ID]
Used in connecting 2 computers with full modem signalling capability. This is usually the pinout found in null modem cables for DB25 to DB9.


DB25 DB9
—- —
2 TD ———— 2 RD
3 RD ———— 3 TD
7 GND ———— 5 GND

hyperterm settings
baud 9600
data bits 8
parity none
stop bits 1
flow control none

The site below is very helpful also.

if using another sun system (v880 to say e250)and tip hardwire us pinouts;

Null terminal pinout DB25 to DB25: [Pin ID]
Used in connecting 2 computers without modem signalling capability. You usually have to build this cable yourself.

DB25 DB25
—- —-
1 GND — 1 GND
2 TD — 3 RD
3 RD — 2 TD
7 GND — 7 GND


The site below is very helpful.

Also I know that the v440 which uses scadm instead of rscadm from the OS can be reset with scadm setdefaults -a

I am not sure if they have this option for rsc cards, that is why I did not mention the other day.


thanks
