Resetting the MP through a modem connection can cause Admin^M to display on every Enter
keystroke. Attempting a modem reset (MP command MR) does not clear this incorrect response.
This is not experienced with a telnet connection.
To regain control with a new Login prompt, follow these steps:
1. Enter Admin (case sensitive) and press < enter > < ctrl + enter > keys.
2. A new Login prompt is created.
3. To move on to the Password prompt, re-enter Admin < ctrl + enter >.
4. To reach the Main Menu, enter Admin < ctrl + enter >.
This fixes the ^M problem. The issue returns if the MP is reset through the modem.
Server Management Overview
Server management consists of four basic functional groups:
• Chassis management
• Chassis logging
• Console and session redirection
• Service access
Chassis Management
Chassis management consists of control and sensing the state of the server subsystems:
• Control and sensing of bulk power
• Control and sensing of DC-to-DC converters
• Control and sensing of fans
• Control of the front panel LEDs
• Sensing temperature
• Sensing of the power switch
• Sensing chassis intrusion
• Reading FRU PROMS
Chassis Logging
Chassis logging consists of maintaining logs of chassis codes:
• Boot codes
• Activity codes
• Error codes
Console and Session Redirection
Console and session redirection enables the console and session terminals to be connected over
the RS-232 port, a modem, or a LAN connection (web console).
Service Access
Service access enables access to and control of the server state. Service access is secured by a
password. Service access functions include the following:
• Access to chassis logs
• Configuration of partitions
• Control for online addition and replacement
• Access to the virtual front panel
• Transfer of control and reset
