Serial Link Configuration Screen

Use the Serial Link Configuration screen to configure a switch when using a modem to create a console session.

Hardware Flow Control

Enables or disables RTS/CTS handshaking.

Default: Disabled

Software Flow Control

Enables the XON and XOFF characters, which are 11 and 13 hexadecimal, respectively.

Default: Disabled

Autobaud Upon Break

Indicates whether the baud rate is reset when a Break key sequence (pressing ENTER rapidly for five seconds) is sent or received. The default is Disabled. When set to enabled, a baud rate change can be accomplished by changing the baud rate of the terminal emulator, disconnecting and reconnecting the TIA/EIA-232 cable, and then pressing ENTER until a screen appears.

Console Baud Rate

The baud rate of the TIA/EIA-232 port. Acceptable baud rates for the console are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or Autobaud. The default value for this parameter is 9600. Make sure that your terminal emulator baud rate matches the console baud rate you set.
