Setting the Baud Rates
The following commands set the baud rate (bps) of the serial port labeled
CONSOLE / MODEM on the PX device. Change the baud rate before
connecting it to the desired device, such as a computer, a Raritan's
P2CIM-SER, or a modem, through the serial port, or there are
communications errors. If you change the baud rate dynamically after the
connection has been made, you must reset the PX or power cycle the
connected device for proper communications.
Determine the CONSOLE baud rate:
config:# serial consoleBaudRate <baud_rate>
Note: The serial port bit-rate change is needed when the PX works in
conjunction with Raritan's Dominion LX KVM switch. The Dominion LX
only supports 19200 bps for communications over the serial interface.
Determine the MODEM baud rate:
config:# serial modemBaudRate <baud_rate>
Variables:

<baud_rate> is one of the baud rate options:
1200
,
2400
,
4800
,
9600
,
19200
,
38400
,
57600
,
115200
.
Forcing the Device Detection Mode
This command forces the serial port on the PX to enter a specific device
detection mode.
config:# serial deviceDetectionType <mode>
Variables:

<mode> is one of the detection modes:
automatic
,
forceConsole
,
forceAnalogModem,
or
forceGsmModem
.
Option Description
automatic The PX automatically detects the device
type on the serial port.
Select this option unless your PX cannot
correctly detect the connected device.
forceConsole The port enters the local console state.
forceAnalogModem The port enters the analog modem state.
