T To Configure Serial Ports [Wizard]
Perform this procedure only if the serial ports are connected to the console
ports on devices. If the serial ports are connected to dumb terminals, you can
configure them only in Expert mode. Perform this procedure only if the
following are both true:
• The serial ports are connected to console ports on devices.
• All the connected devices run at the same speed and with the same values.
• The values you specify here are the same as those in effect on the
connected devices.
For details about the applicable values, see Table 3-5, “Serial Port Profile
Parameters and Usage,” on page 115.
If all the connected devices do not run at the same speed and with the same
values, configure individual settings in Expert mode as described under
“Serial” on page 192.
1. In Wizard mode, go to “Step 3: Port Profile.”
2.
To change the connection protocol, select “Console (Telnet),”
“Console (SSH),” “Console (TelnetSSH), or “Console (Raw)” from the
