2. Press the SPACE bar to choose either ENABLED or DISABLED. ENABLED allows the COM port to be connected to the terminal and used for a particular application. DISABLED disallows the COM port connection to the terminal.!
CAUTION
Do NOT disable or alter the settings of the COM port while
operating the current Local Management connection through a
terminal. Altering the COM port settings disconnects the Local
Management terminal from the port, and ends the Local
Management session. If the 2H22-08R was previously
assigned a valid IP address, reenter Local Management by
establishing a Telnet connection to the device. If the device
does not have a valid IP address and the COM port has been
disabled or the settings changed, reset NVRAM on the
2H22-08R (refer to Section 5.7.11) to reestablish COM port
communications.
!
CAUTION
If the COM port is reconfigured without a valid IP address set
on the device, the message shown in Figure 5-13 displays.
Do not continue unless the outcome of the action is fully
understood.
