Temporarily Connecting a Terminal or NMS to the Control Port
Step 11
Ensure that the control port, terminal, or workstation are set to the same baud rate.
Step 12 When you have completed the initial node configuration, remove the connections to the control ports.
Network Management connections are described in the Connecting a Network Printer to the BPX Switch

Note When a node is powered up, it enters “boot mode” which contains a default speed of 9600
bps. If the node control port was previously configured to 19,200, the first messages appear
garbled because the terminal is at 19,200 bps, but the control port (in “boot mode”) is

terminal display is readable.

If the screen is blank or does not display the initial screen, check all connections to the node, and ensure
that the terminal and node are receiving power. If the connections are correct, press
Delete a few times
or cycle the terminal power.
