To configure a CPU port on an upgraded ServSwitch Affinity as a serial port, press
left-[Ctrl] [F12] at the keyboard of a user station attached to your Affinity system.
This will bring up the on-screen display. Press the down-arrow key to move the

computer” page will appear. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to scroll to the port
you want, then press the right-arrow key once to reach the “Keyboard” column and
press [Enter]. The keyboard-type menu will pop up; it will include serial choices
with a variety of data rates, as shown in Figure 4-1. (At the time of this writing, the
other serial parameters are fixed as 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.) Use the
down-arrow key to move the highlight bar to the data rate you want, then press
