User Guide
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 portparameters.
NOTE: All serial ports are disabled from the factory by default. The administrator can enable ports and assign
specific users to individual ports through the Expert mode.
The following table lists the parameters with the available options and a brief description for
each.
