D-Link DES-3624 manual Configure Console, Settings on Restart

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Configure Console

You can use the Console Options screen to choose whether to use the Switch’s RS-232C serial port for console management or for out-of-band TCP/IP communications using SLIP, and to set the bit rate used for SLIP communications. Note that the DES-3624i/DES-3624iF/DES-3624iFM has an RS-232C serial port but the DES-3624/DES-3624F/DES-3624FM does not.

Choose Configure Console to access the last item on the System Configuration menu. The following screen appears:

The following fields can be set:

Settings on Restart:

♦Console Timeout This setting for the restart of the console is 15 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins, 60 mins, or Never.

♦Serial Port Determines whether the serial port should be used for out-of-band (SLIP) management or for console management, starting from the next time the Switch is restarted. In this field, you can toggle between SLIP or console port type settings.

♦Baud Rate Determines the serial port bit rate that will be used the next time the Switch is restarted. Applies only when the serial port is being used for out-of-band (SLIP) management; it does not apply when the port is used for the console port. Available speeds are 2400, 9600, 19,200 and 38,400 bits per second. The default setting in this Switch version is 9600.
