Serial Port Administration

Creating a descriptive serial port name

The Set Port Name command assigns a descriptive name to a serial port. You may use this name in commands that require a port name as an alternative to using the port’s absolute name.

To create a port name:

At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set port name, followed by the absolute outlet name and a descriptive name of up to 24 alphanumeric and other typeable characters (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal - spaces are not allowed). Port names are not case sensitive. Press Enter.

Example

The following command adds the descriptive name Rack1 to Console port:

Switched PDU: set port name console Rack1<Enter>

Setting the serial ports data-rate

The Set Port Speed command sets the default data-rate for the serial port.

Valid data-rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.

To set the serial port data-rate:

At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set port speed, follow by the data-rate and press Enter.

Example

The following command sets the serial ports data-rate to 38400 BPS:

Switched PDU: set port speed 38400<Enter>

Enabling or disabling active signal checking for serial connections

The Set Port Dsrchk command enables or disables active signal checking for serial connections to devices attached to any of the available serial ports.

To enable or disable active signal checking for serial connections:

At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set port dsrchk console, on or off, and press Enter.

Displaying serial port information

The Show Ports command displays information about all serial ports. This information includes:

•Serial port data rate

•Descriptive port name, if applicable

•DSR signal checking settings

To display serial port information:

At the Switched PDU: prompt, type show ports and press Enter.

Example

The following command displays all serial port information:

Switched PDU: show ports<Enter>
