Out-of-Band Management and Console
Settings
You can use the Out-of-Band/Console Setting menu to choose whether to use
the hub
RS-232 serial port for console management or for out-of-band
TCP/IP communication using SLIP, and to set the baud rate used for SLIP
communications.
The following fields can be set:
♦
System Restart Out-of-Band Baud Rate. This parameter determin-
es the serial port baud rate that will be used the next time the hub is
restarted. It applies only when the serial port is being used for out-of-
band (SLIP) management; it does not apply when the port is used as a
console port. Available speeds are 1200, 2400, 9600, and 19200 bits
per second.
♦
Out-of-Band Dial Up Phone Number. This information is stored as
a reference for the benefit of the system manager and does not cause
the hub to dial out.
♦
System Restart Serial Port Setting. This parameter determines
whether the serial port should be used for out-of-band (SLIP) man-
agement or for console management, starting from the next time the
hub is restarted. It can be set to either
onsole” or
ut-of-Band.”
