Table 3.1: Default Port Settings (Continued)

ParameterValue

PowerNone

Most of these settings are standard serial port operating characteristics.

The CLI access character parameter specifies how you access the CLI. For more information, see Telnet CLI mode on page 20.

The Power parameter instructs the CCM appliance to monitor the state of a specified control signal. Signal transitions may be configured to trigger SNMP traps. The parameter value indicates an inbound control signal (CTS, DCD or DSR) and the state of that signal (low or high). When the defined signal is true, the CPS appliance interprets it as a power on condition for the attached device; when the signal is false, a power off condition for the device is assumed. The signal specified for flow control may not be used for power control, and vice versa.

To configure serial console port settings:

Issue a Port Set command. You may specify settings for one or all ports.

PORT [<port>ALL] SET TD=CONSOLE [NAME=<name>] [BAUD=<baud>] [SIZE=<size>] [PARITY=<parity>] [STOP=<stop_bits>] [FLOW=<flow_ctrl>] [TIMEOUT=<time-out>] [SOCKET=<socket>] [CHAR=^<cli_char>] [TOGGLE=NONEDTR] [POWER=<signal>]

To configure SPC ports and settings:

Issue a Port Set command with the TD=SPC parameter. PORT <port> SET TD=SPC

When a port is configured as an SPC, you cannot change the serial port settings. However, you may use the SPC command to change certain configuration values for the SPC and its individual sockets.

SPC <port>ALL [MINLOAD=<amps>] [MAXLOAD=<amps>]

[SOCKET <socket>ALL] [WAKE=ONOFF] [ONMIN=<time>] [OFFmin=<time>] For more information, see Port Set command on page 47 and SPC Command on page 69.

When you specify TD=SPC, you may configure the SPC device and control its individual sockets using DSView software. Existing users who already have an SPC device and use its native command interfaces should specify TD=Console.

To display serial port settings:

Issue a Show Port command.

SHOW PORT [<port>ALLNAMES]

When you request information about a console 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 console port and a user is currently accessing
