Chapter 3: ROM Monitor Commands

3.2.4console-baud

The console-baudcommand changes the console port’s baud rate. Thus, the console port can interface with any modem to which it is connected. When the baud rate is entered as auto, the CSMIM-T1 detects the baud rate of the incoming line and adjusts its baud rate accordingly. This command provides support for remote troubleshooting. The command syntax is:

console-baud

The command display looks like this:

monitor:: console-baud

Remote Diagnostic Test Mode

In order to use the remote diagnostic functionality, you must first connect a modem to the console port of the Annex. The modem should be configured such that DTR is forced on, carrier detect and DSR are set normal, and auto-answer is enabled. Once this is done, contact your service representative for remote diagnostic maintenance.

To enter “Autobaud Mode”, please type “Auto”. To “manually” configure the Annex console port, please type in the desired baud rate. To return to the “monitor::” prompt strike the “carriage return <CR>” key.

[Baudrate Range: 50-9600 BAUD]

Select Baudrate []::

NOTE

This command has no effect on the port’s baud rate after the CSMIM-T1 is booted
