To clear the local log for a device port:
set locallog clear <Device Port # or Name>
Note:
The
locallog
commands can only be executed for a device port if local logging is enabled
for the port. The
set locallog clear
command can only be executed if the user has
permission to clear port buffers (see
10:
User Authentication
).

2. Change the following as desired:
Baud
The speed with which the device port exchanges data with
the attached serial device.
From the drop-down list, select the baud rate. Most devices

drop-down list, select the number of data bits. The default
is

The number of stop bits that indicate that a byte of data has
been transmitted. From the drop-down list, select the
number of stop bits. The default is
1

Parity checking is a rudimentary method of detecting
simple, single-bit errors. From the drop-down list, select the
parity. The default is
