Chapter 5: Configuring the Console Server in Wizard Mode 43
In Wizard mode, the system assumes that all devices will be connected to the serial ports with the same parameter values. If you need to assign different parameters to the serial ports that each server or device is connected to, use the Expert mode, Ports - Physical Ports to assign individual port parameters.
NOTE: All serial ports are disabled from the factory by default. The administrator can enable ports and assign specific users to individual ports through the Expert mode.
The following table lists the parameters with the available options and a brief description for each.
