Configuring CLI parameters for serial console switches
The CLI subcategory specifies the CLI port terminal type and whether users can connect to other ports from
the CLI port. This subcategory also specifies the following:
• Modem initialization—If this field contains a non-zero value, the serial console switch assumes a
modem is attached to the serial CLI port. At bootup and each time the serial console switch detects
modem power up, this string is sent to the modem to initialize it for call reception. Modem power up
is detected by a transition of serial console switch from low to high.
• Connect control—When this feature is enabled, you can connect to other serial ports from the CLI
port. When disabled, connecting to another serial port from the CLI port is not allowed.
• CLI access character—During a telnet session to a server, when you enter this character while
simultaneously pressing the Control key, the CLI mode is accessed.
