Port Status
(
COM1
,
COM2
)—Defines whether the specified
port is enabled or disabled to pass payload data.
COM1
is
typically disabled to allow it to be used for console terminal
control.
NOTE: If
COM1
is inadvertently enabled, it will become impossible to
log in using a console terminal connected to the
COM1
connector. This problem can be remedied by typing the Hayes
modem-compatible escape sequence of
+ + + followed
by . This restores
COM1
to console terminal mode. You
must log in again.
