1246.0. "Console for AlphaServer 400 4/266 ?" by 54455::RIJSBERGEN_M (Marcel Rijsbergen @uto) Mon Mar 18 1996 08:38

    
    AlphaServer 400 4/266.
    
    We do not have the documentation and are trying to find how to be able
    to use a port for console manager instead of using the VGA as the
    console ?
    
    Is it just like other systems one of the COM ports ?
    Need to flip any switches ?
    
    Regards, Marcel.

    Yes.
    
    >    Need to flip any switches ?
    
    You must shutdown the machine and do
    
    >>> set console serial
    
    Hook a terminal up to the MMJ com port and power-cycle the system. You
    should start seeing the power-on self-test on the screen. You can
    now hook it to PCM
