Serial Port Administration
Creating a descriptive serial port name:
The Set Port Name command assigns a descrip-

a descriptive name of up to 24 alphanumeric and
other typeable characters - (ASCII 33 to 126

data-rate for the serial port.
Valid data-rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.
To set the serial port data-rate:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set port
speed, follow by the data-rate and press Enter.
Example
The following command sets the serial ports data-
rate to 38400 BPS:
Switched PDU: set port speed 38400<Enter>
Enabling or disabling active signal checking
for serial connections:
The Set Port Dsrchk command enables or dis-
ables active signal checking for serial connections
to devices attached to any of the available serial
ports.

connections:
At the Switched PDU: prompt, type set port
dsrchk console, on or off, and press Enter.
Setting the serial port timeout value:
The Set Port Timeout command is used to set the
serial port inactivity timeout period. The timeout
period defines the maximum period of inactivity
before automatically closing the Pass-Thru ses-

0 to 5 (in minutes). The default period is 5.
Note!
Setting the timeout to ‘0’ disables the
timer.
