console from any machine (eg, your desktop, iris, noric, etc.).
to connect to serial console:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ /usr/local/bin/console suncat0006 |
or use this command if your machine has a private /usr/local :
| Code Block |
|---|
$ /afs/slac/local/bin/console suncat0006 |
You will get this message from the console software:
| Code Block |
|---|
