CHAPTER 6: The Status Screens
6. The Status Screens
The Serial Console Port Manager’s Status screens display the connection status and
communication parameters for its RS-232 ports. There are three different types of
status screens: The Port Status screen (/S), the Port Diagnostics screen (/SD), and
the Port Parameters screens (/W).
6.1. The Port Status Screen (/S)
The Port Status screen lists the general status of the Serial Console Port Manager’s
RS-232 ports. To display the Port Status screen, access the Command Mode and
type
/S
[Enter]
. The screen will appear as shown in Figure 6-1.
Although both Supervisors and Users can display the Port Status screen, the screen
will contain slightly different information depending on whether the Command
Mode was accessed with the Supervisor Password or a Port Password. When a Port
Password (User Mode) is entered at login, the Port Status screen will only display
the status of those ports that share the same Port Password that was entered at login.
When the Supervisor Mode is active, the Port Status screen offers the option to
either display or suppress Port Passwords. Normally, when the /S command is
invoked, the Password column will read either “defined” or “undefined”,
depending on whether or not the password for each port has been specified. To
display the Port Status screen with Port Passwords included, type /SP and then
press
[Enter]
. The /SP command option is not available in User Mode.
