For more information and descriptions of all valid parameters, see Port Set command in Chapter 5.

To display serial port settings:

Issue a Show Port command.

SHOW PORT [<port>ALLNAMES]

When you request information about a port, the display includes configuration information, current power status (if power status monitoring has been enabled), plus transmit, receive and error counts. When you request information about a single port and a user is currently accessing that port, the display also includes the username, access rights and other information about the current session.

When you request information about port names, the display includes the port numbers and names. If a port’s name has not been changed with a Port Set command, the logical name is displayed.

For more information, see Show Port command in Chapter 5.

Connecting to Serial Devices

The CCM offers several methods for connecting to attached serial devices: Telnet, serial CLI, PPP and SSH.

Preemption

Depending on configured access levels, a user who is connecting to a port (the connecting user) may disconnect another user of equal or lower access (the current user).

If the connecting user’s access level is lower than the current user’s access level, the connecting user will receive an In Use message and the connection will be dropped.

If the connecting user’s access level is equal to or higher than the owning user’s access level, an In Use by owning user message will be displayed. The connecting user may then choose to preempt the current user’s session. If the current user’s session is preempted, an appropriate message is displayed.

For more information about access levels, see Access rights and levels in this chapter.
