4.5Serial Location

The switch supports running its serial port to both the front panel and the RTM. It does not support both the front panel and RTM at the same time. You must configure the port to go to the location needed. By default, the port is routed to the front panel.

4.5.1Changing Serial Location from UBoot

In this example, the serial port direction is to the RTM.
