set consmenu
102 Chapter 2 Command Descriptions
set consmenu
Device support This command is supported PortServer TS Family devices only.
Purpose Configures or displays console menu options.
The Digi PortServer TS device supports multiple connections to a port
simultaneously. The “set consmenu” command may be used with the port
sharing feature (see "Configure Port Sharing" on page 24 and "set sharing"
on page 198). When port sharing is enabled, it can be useful to see who
else is connected to a port before making a connection.
The Console Menu feature allows you to see who is already connected to a
port, disconnect other sessions, display the last entries of the port-buffer or
branch out to the command line of the unit.
When in the console menu, entering a ? character displays a help screen.
Required
