Configuring the TIP Hardwire Connection
Follow these steps to modify the hardwire entry in the /etc/remote file on the DNCS
so that it can receive a TTY connection from the ASI server:

4 Find the hardwire entry in the file. The following is an example of how this entry
might appear:
hardwire:\:dv=/dev/term/b:br#9600:el=^C^S^Q^U^D:ie=%$:oe=^D:

Notes:
In this example, the entry dv= specifies the TTY serial port that is used to
receive input from another device. By default, the ASI server uses serial port
TTY A as its input/output method when a video card, monitor, and/or
keyboard are not available during startup.
In this example, the entry /dev/term/b corresponds to the serial port TTY B
connection on the back of the DNCS.
5 Modify the hardwire entry by changing dev/term/b to dev/term/a. The DNCS is
now configured to receive a TTY connection from the ASI server.
6 Save the file and exit the vi text editor.
