Cabletron Systems 8H02-16 manual Screen Lockout Time Modifiable

Chapter 6: Local Management

Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’s Local Management screens. In this example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to Section 6.6.9.

Com 1 (Modifiable)

This field allows the user to enable or disable the COM port. The selection toggles between ENABLE and DISABLE. The default is ENABLED. For details about setting up the COM port, refer to Section 6.6.10.

Application (Modifiable)

Displays the application set for the COM port. This field allows the user to set the application that the COM port supports. The field steps between LM (Local Management), SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol), PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

The UPS setting allows the COM port to be used to monitor an American Power Conversion Smart Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

The baud rate setting for LM is automatically sensed. For UPS, the baud rate is automatically set to 2400. The baud rate must be manually set in the Baud Rate field if either PPP or SLIP is selected.

The default setting is LM. For details about how to configure the COM port for various applications, refer to Section 6.6.10.

Baud Rate (Modifiable)

Displays the baud rate setting of the device attached to the 8H02-16 through the COM port. The field steps between 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19,200. This selection is only available if SLIP or PPP is selected in the Application field.
