Remote connection COM port - rendercomplete - 08-10-2025

I need to connect to the second SGI via COM port to change the screen resolution.

The resolution is changed command /usr/gfx/setmon -x 1280x1024_60

But I don't know how to connect to a remote machine? What command do I need if I connect from O2 to Fuel

If I connect from Windows, there is the Putty program, but I connect from SGI O2

Telnet (which is unencrypted) or ssh (secure shell - which is encrpted). EDIT: Take a look at this; Link:

Welcome to the forums and I am genuinely surprised that we have someone from Kyrgyzstan here.

That is quite the destination to come here from. Let us know if we can be of any help

Thanks for the answer, master.
I see the main guardians of the forum here.
I was in Kyrgyzstan a year ago, now in Russia.
I have embarked on the path of studying sgi. I like this equipment.
In the early 2000s it was expensive and inaccessible, now you can buy it.
This is the equipment I have at the moment
