Step 2 The CLI displays the root level system prompt:

#(system prompt)>

The system prompt can be any alphanumeric string up to 31 characters. You can change it by entering the config prompt command. For example, to change the system prompt to CISCO2504, enter config prompt "CISCO2504" and press Enter. Make sure you enter the new prompt using double quotation marks.

Note The CLI automatically logs out without saving any changes after 5 minutes of inactivity. You can set the automatic logout from 0 (never log out) to 160 minutes using the config serial timeout command.

Always use Category-5, Category-5e, Category-6, or Category-7 Ethernet cables to connect the office network equipment to the controller.
