If you experience problems connecting to the terminal concentrator port while configuring the terminal concentrator using the tip hardwire command, you can connect to an alternate serial port and modify the /etc/remote file on the local system.

1. On the local system, edit the /etc/remote file, as follows:

Replace the port number (shown as n in the example below) with the port designation letter of the port you plan to use.

hardwire:\

:dv=/dev/term/n:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D

(In the above line, substitute the serial port letter you are using for n - for example, if using ttya, replace n with a)
