You specify Login Timeout and Baud Rate:
Serial Port Login Timeout:
Specifies the maximum connect time without console activity. The value is
in a range from 0 to 160 minutes. A value of 0 indicates that a console can
be connected indefinitely. The default value is 5 minutes.
Baud Rate :
Specifies the communication rate of the terminal interface. Values can be
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. The default
value is 19200.
Configuring for DHCP or BootP Server
If you do not want to manually configure the 8275-416 with IP information, the
8275-416 can obtain the IP information from a BootP or DHCP server. When BootP
or DHCP is enabled, the 8275-416 periodically send out requests until a response
is received from either a DHCP or BootP server. The IP information in the BootP or
DHCP response overlays any existing IP information in 8275-416 . The new IP
information is not retained across a reset until a SAVE is issued.
DHCP
To configure static DHCP, you must specify an IP address that will be assigned to
the 8275-416. This IP address is mapped to the 8275-416’s MAC address. The
static DHCP does not obtain an IP address from a pool of addresses on a DHCP
server unless one is explicitly set up for a given MAC address. For example, In
Windows NT, a reservation must be set up for the 8275-416’s MAC address. It
should be assigned an IP address from the pool of current addresses. The router,
IP address, and subnet mask should all be configured for the 8275-416’s MAC
address. No other DHCP options are supported other than gateway/router address,
IP address, subnet mask.
