Chapter 4: Configuring the Cyclades CS Console Server in Wizard Mode 19
Step 2: Port Profile
Selecting Step 2: Port Profile displays a form for configuring the Console Access Profile (CAS).
The protocol used to access the serial ports can be configured in this form.
Figure 4.3: Wizard - Step 2: Port Profile
In Wizard mode, the system assumes that all devices will be connected to the serial ports with the
same parameter values. If you need to assign different parameters to the serial ports that each server
or device is connected to, use the Expert mode, Ports - Physical Ports to assign individual
port parameters.
