Configuring MPX Serial Ports
The serial communications parameters for the two
MPX
serial ports are set by default to the
following:
• 9600 bits per second (bps)
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• no hardware flow control (Windows 95)
Each serial port supports serial data rates of
1200
,
9600
,
19200
, and
38400
bps. However, you
must remove the default baud rate shunt (E1), which fixes the baud rate at 9600 bps, before
you can change the baud rate. This shunt is located near the front end of the
MPX’s
circuit
board, just to the right of the Ethernet management port.
To change the serial port configuration parameters, use the
ser
command, which is described
in detail in Chapter 6, “Configuring Management Processor Modules.”
