SERIAL CONSOLE PORT MANAGER
6.3 The Port Parameters Screens (/W)
The /W command displays even more detailed information about an individual
Serial Console Port Manager port. Rather than listing connection information for
all ports like the Port Status screens, the Port Parameters screen lists all defined
parameters for a specific port, as shown in Figure 6-3.
The /W command is available in both Supervisor Mode and User Mode. However,
when you log in with a Port (User) password, the Port Manager will only display
information regarding your resident port.
When Supervisor Mode is active, the Port Parameters screens offer the option to
either display or suppress Port Passwords. Normally, when /W is invoked, the
Password field will read either “defined” or “undefined”, depending upon whether
or not the port’s password has been specified. To display the Port Parameters
screen with the Port Password, type
/WP
followed by the desired port number,
then press
[Enter]
. The /WP command option is not available in User Mode.
The /W command uses the format “
/W[P]
xx
[Enter]
”, where “
P
” is the
command option to display port passwords and “
xx
” is the desired port number.
When the “
P
” option is included (for example, in “/WP 5”) in a Supervisor-Mode
command, the Port Parameters screen will display any password that’s been
defined for the port.
