I am trying to change some information around on the SIO_PORTs attached to a 9751 CBX (release 9005) so that I can add another device to capture reports via serial connection. Everything looks great as far as I can tell, but I have some odd things I can't figure out (since I just inherited this system, never been trained on it).
One of the ports, ACD1, is being used as a serial console. I'd like to move that over to CLI2, which is unoccupied. When ACD1 isn't connected to a serial device, it looks like this:
Code:
% LI SIO_PORT ACD1
PORT NAME: ACD1
PORT LOCATION: SMIOC CARD #A, PORT 3, DEVICE CODE #26
PAD: 01/022203
PORT TYPE: UNINTELLIGENT DEVICE
PORT BAUDRATE: 9600
LENGTH/PARITY: 7 BITS, EVEN PARITY
STOP BITS: 1
EXTRNL STATUS: NO DCD, NO CTS, NO DSR
INTRNL STATUS: PORT UP, INTRPT ON EXT STATE CHANGE, OUTPUT NOT PAUSED
PORT STATUS: * NOT CONNECTED *
I/O STATUS: UNLOCKED
PROTOCOL: ...
And then when I connect to the serial (and get login banner etc) it is:
Code:
% LI SIO_PORT ACD1
PORT NAME: ACD1
PORT LOCATION: SMIOC CARD #A, PORT 3, DEVICE CODE #26
PAD: 01/022203
PORT TYPE: UNINTELLIGENT DEVICE
PORT BAUDRATE: 9600
LENGTH/PARITY: 7 BITS, EVEN PARITY
STOP BITS: 1
EXTRNL STATUS: DCD, CTS, NO DSR
INTRNL STATUS: PORT UP, INTRPT ON EXT STATE CHANGE, OUTPUT NOT PAUSED
PORT STATUS: CONNECTED
I/O STATUS: UNLOCKED
PROTOCOL: CLI
The only difference (other than being connected) is that the PROTOCOL now shows CLI. My issue with the port labeled CLI2 is that even when i connect to it with the serial device (all other configuration that I know how to set being equal) the PROTOCOL stays blank. Here's the before:
Code:
% LI SIO_PORT CLI2
PORT NAME: CLI2
PORT LOCATION: SMIOC CARD #A, PORT 8, DEVICE CODE #1C
PAD: 01/022208
PORT TYPE: UNINTELLIGENT DEVICE
PORT BAUDRATE: 9600
LENGTH/PARITY: 7 BITS, EVEN PARITY
STOP BITS: 1
EXTRNL STATUS: NO DCD, NO CTS, NO DSR
INTRNL STATUS: PORT UP, INTRPT ON EXT STATE CHANGE, OUTPUT NOT PAUSED
PORT STATUS: * NOT CONNECTED *
I/O STATUS: UNLOCKED
PROTOCOL: ...
And the connected CLI2 listing:
Code:
% LI SIO_PORT CLI2
PORT NAME: CLI2
PORT LOCATION: SMIOC CARD #A, PORT 8, DEVICE CODE #1C
PAD: 01/022208
PORT TYPE: UNINTELLIGENT DEVICE
PORT BAUDRATE: 9600
LENGTH/PARITY: 7 BITS, EVEN PARITY
STOP BITS: 1
EXTRNL STATUS: DCD, CTS, NO DSR
INTRNL STATUS: PORT UP, INTRPT ON EXT STATE CHANGE, OUTPUT NOT PAUSED
PORT STATUS: CONNECTED
I/O STATUS: UNLOCKED
PROTOCOL: ...
Now the only difference I can see (and I don't know how to change it if it matters) is the DEVICE CODE, on ACD1 it's #26, while on CLI2 it's #1C. The odd thing is the first time I connected my serial line (to a PC running HyperTerminal) to CLI2 I got the banner and was able to get in just fine, but since then it hasn't worked.
So I hope that someone out there knows either what I am talking about and can point me in the right direction, or just tell me that it cannot be done. This system currently has three CLI ports already, one going to a hardwired serial console, and two (ACD1 and ACD3) going to a Cyclades box via serial, to make it available via telnet. We'd like to keep all 3 connections, but I'd like to move the serial connection for the Cyclades to CLI2 because I need to be able to print reports out to a free ACDx line. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
