4-6 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION

Console Baud Rate

Sets the baud rate for the console port. The default value is 9600. You

 

can set the rate to 110, 300, 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps. Console port

 

parity is set to none, and number of data bits is set to 8. You cannot

 

change these values.

Console Port

Specifies the console port. The choices are 0 through 9; the default is 0.

 

Specifying a port as a console port and enabling the Monitor parameter

 

disables the port for use with Connection Service.

Continuous Self-Test

Disabling continuous self-test, the default, causes the self-test

 

diagnostics to run only when turning on and resetting. When you set this

 

parameter to enable, the diagnostics run continuously, except when the

 

server is turned off or in monitor mode.

Auto-Reboot

The values available are “Boot monitor,” “Upload then reboot,” and

 

“Reboot only. “ The setting takes effect when errors, or the software

 

ReBoot command, require the server to be rebooted.

 

“Boot monitor” puts the server into monitor mode so it can be rebooted

 

by the user. This setting prevents the communications server from

 

rebooting after a crash and allows the network manager to perform a

 

memory dump or debugging procedures. You can perform memory

 

dumps from a CS/2500 to an RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. You can

 

perform memory dumps from a CS/2600 to its internal diskette drive or

 

to an RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. For further information, refer to

 

“Memory Dump Procedures” on page 6-5.

 

“Upload then reboot” automatically dumps the communications server’s

 

memory to the RBCS or TFTP/FTP server, then reboots the

 

communications server. “Reboot only” (the default) automatically

 

reboots the communications server.

Monitor

Specifies whether the port configured as the monitor port is always used

 

as a monitor port or only when the server is in monitor mode. The

 

default setting is “Disabled”; that is, the port functions as a monitor port

 

only when the server is in monitor mode.
