serial port connectivity set-up
xerces
I am trying to get a serial port connection going between a Sun M3000
server and an external PC so as to be able to deploy an electronic
real-time data feed from the pc to the Sun server.
I believe the cabling is ok
The console port on the sun m3000 is RJ45 and an appropriate converter
is in use along with the null modem cable, so I am told.
At the application level on the Solaris 10 server (Sun M3000 server),
I am trying to open and reference "some" serial port and receive the
data feed but have not had success.
I am trying to open a port like /dev/ttya but this is failing
I have
ls -ltr /dev/ttya
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Apr 23 2009 /dev/ttya -> term/a
11Nov--Wed 4:49:43pm t3edbo@SUNSRV02(/asp_APPL/t3e231/server)% ls -
ltr /dev/term/a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Apr 23 2009 /dev/term/a -> ../../devices/
pci@8,4000/ebus@1/serial@14,400000:a
11Nov--Wed 4:49:49pm t3edbo@SUNSRV02(/asp_APPL/t3e231/server)% ls -
ltr /dev/tty
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 23 2009 /dev/tty -> ../devices/pseudo/
sy@0:tty
I realize some information is fuzzy, but what do I need to do to get
the set-up and working ?
What else can I check ?
What can I check to ensure cabling is ok ?
What should it be ?
Can someone please help and point me in the right direction.
Also pasted below is my /etc/remote file

The attributes are:
dv device to use for the tty
el EOL marks (default is NULL)
du make a call flag (dial up)
pn phone numbers (@ =>'s search phones file; possibly taken from
PHONES environment variable)
at ACU type
ie input EOF marks (default is NULL)
oe output EOF string (default is NULL)
cu call unit (default is dv)
br baud rate (defaults to 300)
fs frame size (default is BUFSIZ) -- used in buffering writes
on receive operations
tc to continue a capability
Thanks very much

famous last words : )

time out. if this is a "console port" typically that
means it can't be used for anything else. You would
want to confirm that first before going any further.
