697.0. "Redirection of DEChub 900 Setup Port" by GIDDAY::KO (Anthony Ko @SNO - NSW Consulting, Australia) Mon Feb 07 1994 01:43

Hi all,

As I believed that the Setup Port of our DEChub 900 was re-directed to somewhere
previously by someone, nothing (not even the Hub Manager's menu) is displayed on
my terminal screen after powering up the hub. How can I reset the Setup Port or
the Hub Manager's attributes to factory settings? Replacing the Hub Manager ??

Thanks & Regards,
Anthony

697.1	Re-directed Console	LEVERS::DRAGON		`Mon Feb 07 1994 08:11`	8
	Anthony, The DEChub 900 Setup Port console re-direct should not survive a power-cycle of the DEChub 900. Maybe try checking the terminal settings, cables, etc.. Bob
697.2	That's strange!	GIDDAY::KO	Anthony Ko @SNO - NSW Consulting, Australia	`Mon Feb 07 1994 18:26`	5
	Bob, But I used the same cable and terminal connecting to the port 1 of a DECserver 900TM which attached to that DEChub 900 and messages were displayed on the screen.
697.3	Different Baud?	LEVERS::DRAGON		`Tue Feb 08 1994 07:56`	8
	Anthony, Could be that someone set the Setup Port's baud rate if your running a T3.x version of MAM code (ie 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600). You might want to try those settings. Bob

	You should not be running a T3.X version, of course. The terminal should be set to 9600bps 8 bits, 1 stop bit, No parity If you power cycle the hub you should get the hub menu on the screen. No console state (redirect or event logging) is retained through any reset, including power cycle. If you don't, check to make sure that the MAM diags are passing (does the display show a hex failure code?) and the usual checks for the cables and the above settings.
