Before proceeding with further serial port configuration, connect the ports to the serial devices they will be controlling, and make sure they
have matching settings.
NOTE: The serial ports are all set at the factory to RS-232: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and
Console server
Mode. You
can change the baud rate to 2400–230400 baud using the management console. You can configure lower baud rates (50, 75,
110, 134, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 1800 baud) from the command line. Refer to
Chapter 14— Basic Configuration (Linux
Commands).
5.1.2 Console Server Mode
Select Console Server Mode to enable remote management access to the serial console that is attached to this serial port:
Figure 5-4. Console Server settings screen.
Logging Level: This specifies the level of information to be logged and monitored (referto
Chapter 7
—
Alerts and Logging).
Telnet: When the Telnet service is enabled on the
console server
, a Telnet client on a
User
or
Administrator’s
computer can connect to a
serial device attached to this serial port on the
console server
. The Telnet communications are unencrypted, so this protocol is generally
recommended only for local connections.
With Win2000/XP/NT you can run
telnet
from the command prompt (
cmd.exe
). Vista and Windows 7 include a Telnet client and server, but
they are not enabled by default. To enable Telnet:
• Log in as
Admin
and go to
Start/Control Panel/Programs and Features.
• Select
Turn Windows features on or off,
check the
Telnet Client,
and click
OK.
