Managing serial console switches 98
•
PPP settings—When PPP is enabled, you specify the local IP address that will be used to
communicate with this serial console switch over a PPP connection on the serial CLI port. You also
specify the remote IP address for the client that connects to the serial console switch over the PPP
connection. A subnet mask can also be included.
To change CLI settings:
1. Select CLI.
2. Select the terminal emulation type for the CLI port from the dropdown list in the Terminal Type field.
3. Enter a zero- to 64-character string containing the command to set the modem to autoanswer mode
in the Modem Initialization field. If no modem is connected, leave this field blank.
4. Select Enabled or Disabled from the dropdown list to indicate whether a user can connect to
other serial ports from the CLI port in the Connect Control field.
5. Enter a caret (^) and the character that is used to access CLI mode during a server session in the CLI
Access Character field. The character entered after the caret can be a letter or one of the following:
left bracket ([), right bracket (]), caret (^), underscore (_), or backslash (\). The caret character
represents the <Ctrl> key, and in combination with the next character can be used to access the
console switch CLI mode during a server session. ^D or <Ctrl>D is the default.
6. Select or clear Enabled in the PPP Settings area. If you enable the PPP Settings, set the IP address
for PPP.
