▪ Port Status (COM1, COM2)—Defines whether the specified port is enabled or disabled to

pass payload data. COM1 is typically disabled to allow it to be used for console terminal

control.

If COM1 is inadvertently enabled, it will become impossible to log in using a console

terminal connected to the COM1 connector. This problem can be remedied by typing the

Hayes modem-compatible escape sequence of SHIFT + + + followed by ENTER . This

restores COM1 to console terminal mode. You must log in again.
