Figure 5-7 Console Port Setup Screen

If you alter the console port settings and select OK, you terminate any existing session using the console port. To avoid terminating the session completely, ensure that the settings are correct and that the connected equipment’s settings match the new configuration.

If you change the console port parameters with Auto Config already set to Enabled, or if you change Auto Config to Enabled, you need to perform the wake-upprocedure before communication is re-established, see “Main Banner” on page 5-6.

If you are unsure of the correct settings to use, refer to the manual for your terminal or modem. If you change the settings by accident, return them to their default settings (shown on these pages as the underlined values).

Serial Connection Terminal / Modem

Select Modem if you want to manage the hub through a modem. Otherwise, leave as Terminal. The cable you require for connecting a modem is shown in “Cabling” on page A-2.
