!
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.
