Hi Silvan, There are many ways to reset the ALOM to its defaults, but they all need a serial connection :-(
There is no magic little button to press and to reset it. The T1000 uses the same connection than most of the new Sun servers. If you a system from V120 to V445, they all share the same serail port and connectivity. There is always a RJ45-DB9 adapter, with a "silver" colour. You can also use a "CISCO" console cable and connect this console to another server as Nicolas said, but you need a server with a real serail port, and not a serial port connected to an ALOM. If you want to build the cable, the pinout is: *color* *signal* *pin* *pin* *signal* White/Orange RTS 1 8 CTS Orange DTR 2 7 DSR White/Green TxD 3 6 RxD White/Blue GND 5 5 GND Green RxD 6 3 TxD White/Brown DSR 7 2 DTR Brown CTS 8 1 RTS Other possibilities are described at http://www.sunhelp.org/unix-serial-port-resources/serial-pinouts One final thing to test: the ALOM NE MGT interface may only work at 10Mbps/half-duplex. Be sure you are connecting it to a hub/switch that supports it. Are the lights in the switch side and the net interface lighted on? Good luck!
