Reconfiguring Console Port Settings
Carry out the procedures in this section only if you need to connect another device (besides the
configuration console) to the workgroup switch, and if the other device runs at a slower baud
rate, uses a different parity, or has a different data bit value than the workgroup switch's
preconfigured factory settings.
For example, if you want to connect a 4800 baud modem to the workgroup switch to remotely manage it,
you must change the factory-set default baud rate from 9600 to 4800. To do so, you would enter the
following command:
à
@
ð
8285
>
set terminal baud 48ðð [ENTER]
See the
IBM 8285/8260: ATM Command Reference Guide, SA33-0385 for information on the SET
TERMINAL commands that allow you to reconfigure configuration console settings.
Saving Reconfigured Console Port Settings
After you use the SET TERMINAL command to reset the baud rate, the parity, or the data bit value for
the ATM Workgroup Switch, the change is activated immediately and you lose communication with the
configuration console. The new configuration console setting is not, however, permanently saved.
In order to save the configuration console parameters that you reconfigure with the SET command, you
must connect the new configuration console to the workgroup switch, log on, and enter the SAVE
TERMINAL command. Once saved in this way, the new configuration console settings remain stored in
memory after you log off and in case of a power failure.
For more information on how to reconfigure and save configuration console settings, see the sections
describing the SET TERMINAL commands in the
IBM 8285/8260: ATM Command Reference Guide,
SA33-0385.
