Hello everybody,
as a fan of oldschool servers I was happy to get a AS/400 9406-270 a
few days ago. Since I don't have any hardwareterminals I was glad to
read, that the green connector left to J11-Connector on the back could
be used with a Null-Modem-Cable to connect to a PC on usb. I bought
Startech FTDI USB to RS232 N-M-Adapter cable and run "Putty" on my
linux-PC (LinuxMint 19.1). The port /dev/ttyUSB0 is detected both by
the system and can be used in Putty. But there is just a black screen
with a green block cursor, but no interaction by keyboard possible, no
display on the screen during booting or any else.
So, how can I connect to the machine? And is the green serial-Port even
ready to work as serial input from a software-terminal like Putty?
Maybe I have to switch or adjust something on the machine itself, by
using to small display on the front?
Unfortunaly there was no documentation with the machine. So I even
don't know, if and in case of, which OS is installed.
I'm aware, my decision to get such a server was bit blue-eyed and
hasty, but I am willing to learn ...
Any recommendations on connect?
Best regards,
Micha
