1379.0. "telnet to console port problem" by BIS1::63767::HERTA (For something fulfilled this hour, loved, or endured) Mon Sep 09 1996 11:23

cross-posted from MVBLAB::ALPHASERVER_4100 topic 237
 
I want to manage an AlphaServer 4100 5/300 remotely via POLYCENTER Console Manager.
To that end, I've connected COM1 to a DECserver 90M.  The variable "console" is set
to "serial", "os_type" is "UNIX".  

I've set up a telnet session to the listener port defined on the DECserver.
When I reboot the system, the console output is sent to the telnet session, up to
the line "jumping to bootstrap code".  The rest is lost.  The system comes up fine, 
but I cannot connect to the console.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

FWIW: Firmware is at V1.2-4.

Dennis Paradis pointed out that I must have forgotten to init or power-cycle 
the system after setting the console variable.  Works fine now.
