How to attach a console to a HP9000 E45 server?
Hi!
We need assistance because we have the following server - a used one, but it is without any kind of documentation:
a HP 9000 E45 server
MDP MUX - what the hell it is exactly???
a HP 700/96 terminal with serial and paralell port and a SCSI storage box...
We think there is an operating system on the server, because it seems to boot, but we cannot connect the terminal properly, so we don't see anything. (Only a menu of the terminal in German language :(((( )
How can we connect the terminal to the server or can we replace this terminal with a terminal emulator on PC?
What does the bootp mean? We think it means that we can boot Linux over network with bootp/tftp?
Thanx
Gabor Zele

az egyfajta boot protokoll es igen, a linux kernelt most legkonyebben boot-vel tudod elinditani a szerveren.

I (for one) don't mind - something interesting to look at this fine dark morning. But perhaps you could supply a translation, as your responses were no doubt useful for others on the list too?
Thanks,
Andrew.

an old beast. 7100LC 80Mhz, and if i'm correct it has LASI so there is a pretty good chance that the current kernel can do something with it.

it's a thing with serial lines on one end and probably lan on the other.

it's the most commonly used simple serial terminal. You need to use the prot labelled 'Data' to connect to the server.

if you can tell me the product numbers for all of your thing then i can probably tell you what they are. The product numbers are usually in the A1234A format.

IIRC the language of the terminal can be changed. press the user/menu button the F8, then whatever seems appropriate.

you can reset the terminal by holding down D while turning on it. I mean while turning on the terminal.

that is a kind of boot protocoll and yes this is the easiest way to boot the linux kernel currently.
