I would like to re-install AIX but the fact that I cannot Esc cannot allow me to change the boot order. In fact the initialization process stops after Execution of the NFS function, no message login. The problem I have now using Hyperterminal and Putty is that the Escape key is not working.
#HYPERTERMINAL VS PUTTY SERIAL#
If you want a quick and dirty serial access tool which is used infrequently then either PuTTy or Hyperterminal would suffice. If you want anything more than quick and dirty then it would pay to do some research into the alternative (possibly non-free) terminal emulators such as SecureCRT or ZOC.
do you want a fully featured terminal, or something which is quick and dirty? So….the question to pose in terms of my experience and your goals is…. PuTTY was great as a serial terminal emulator (at least because the scroll buffer works as do the keyboard maps), but I found it often crashed for no aparent reason, these crashes happened only when using the serial terminal functionality. This was resolved (at home at least) by using Hilgrave’s Hyperterminal PE which is for personal use only. Hyperterminal I found to be very reliable as a terminal, but severely lacked a working scroll buffer. I have used both PuTTY and Hyperterminal for serial connections, and have the following feedback:. I think the reason most people use putty is its ssh access.

Using serial ports and cables since 1974, the obvious is almost the best solution (see my post Feb 18th). You mean a “crossover” cable (with the transmit and receive signals that are inverted). Did anyone faced this problem ? Thanks Regards Bandon = It shows connected but nothing appear on the screen, same thing with a worstation under Linux I tried the same thing with a SAN switch and it works.

I never used the USB-serial cable because my terminals and laptops al have serial ports. IBM usually supplies new servers with one (part number 40H6328). If your serial ports have 9-pin connectors, you will need the male DB25 to female DB9 pin converter. So when both equipment are set up as DTE, you need a crossover cable or “null modem” which is a DB25 male to female adapter that has the pins crossed over inside. The EIA RS232C standard has the transmit lead on pin 2 and the receive lead on pin 3 for DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) but both leads are reversed for a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) which is a modem. If this is the first time that you are connecting a serial terminal, be sure you are using the correct cable.
