NAME

cons CP remote - Tahoe console interface  

DESCRIPTION

The console is available to the processor through the console registers. It acts like a normal terminal, except that a ``~ '' is used to transfer commands to the console processor when the front panel key switch is in the ``foo'' or ``bar'' position. When the console processor is in control, a `#>' prompt is displayed. To continue execution after halting the machine with `~h' , use `r'

~h
Halt the machine.
~b
Force a reboot.
~r
Continue execution after a ~h

Refer to the Tahoe console processor handbook for the complete list of facilities available through the console processor.

The CP device provides direct access to the console processor. The remote device is a secondary console terminal used for remote diagnosis; it is normally connected to a modem.
