Setting the serial port timeout value
The Set Port Speed Timeout command is used to set the serial port inactivity timeout
period. The timeout period defines the maximum period of inactivity before
automatically closing the session. The valid range for the period parameter is 0 to 5
(in minutes). The default period is 5.
Note: Setting the timeout to ‘0’ disables the timer.
To set the serial port timeout value:
1. At the command prompt, type set port timeout, followed by a value from 0
to 5 (in minutes) and press Enter.
Displaying serial port information
The Show Ports command displays information about all serial port. This information
includes:
• Serial port data rate
• Descriptive port name, if applicable
• DSR signal checking settings
To display serial port information:
1. At the command prompt, type show ports and press Enter.
