Solution 2283743.1 : Serial Connection To The Eagle STP Via EPAP Is Not Available

Applies to:

Oracle Communications EAGLE (Software) - Version EPAP 16.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

We used the command cu -es 9600 -l /dev/ttyS2 to connect to the STP via EPAP, but now after the EPAP upgrade (to 16.1 ) this is not available.

We need the new command to make this connection.

Solution

The EPAP application 16.1 is based on TPD (platform) 7.0.3 which is based on Oracle Linux. The cu command is not supported in Oracle Linux. The other way to use the serial port connection is using the minicom facility.

Configured remote connection on serial port (ttyS2) and connect the serial port using the minicom.

[admusr@mps-xx-b dev]$ sudo cu -es 9600 -l /dev/ttyS2
sudo: cu: command not found

[epapdev@mps-xx-b ~]$ cu -es 9600 -l /dev/ttyS2
-bash: cu: command not found

[root@mps-lv-b etc]# minicom eagle

Customer will get the connection with the Eagle MMI Terminal , if its in VT mode, pressing the CTRL+A two times will bring you to KSR mode.

To come out of the minicom, press the CTRL+A, and "Q", select the "exit without reset" option. CTRL+A and "Z" will give you the help option of the minicom.
