Using the Access Port (AP)
Configuring the Console
become necessary.
Returning from Control Mode to Console Mode
The access port command, CO, returns the console from control mode to console mode. Once
returned to console mode, the system console operates in its normal session mode. This
command does not generate messages.
Configuring the Access Port
Issuing the AP command, CA, allows either the local or remote console operator to
reconfigure the baud rate for the remote support modem port, the setting of the T1 RATE
line, and the system identification. The AP accepts any configuration, making no judgment
on the validity.
Using the CA command generates the following prompts:
CM>CA Return
Current remote support modem port configuration:
Bit rate 9600 bits/sec
Rate Select/CCITT 111 High rate (ON)
System identification: Joe's Sink and Pipe Shop
Do you wish to change the configuration? (Y/N): Y Return
Enter your changes. <CR> retains the current value.
Current bit rate is 9600 bits/sec. Select the new bit rate.
(0=300, 1=1200, 2=2400, 3=4800, 4=9600): Return
Rate Select (CCITT 111) is currently HIGH (ON). Choose the
new setting (H=high or ON, L=low or OFF): H Return
Current System identification: Joe's Sink and Pipe Shop.
New identification (limited to 1 to 24 displayable characters
or space for none): Yi's Jug and Bottle Shop Return
New configuration (takes effect at next remote connection):
Bit rate 9600 bits/sec
Rate Select/CCITT 111 High rate (ON)
System identification: Yi's Jug and Bottle Shop

The baud rate for the remote console port can be set to 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 bits
per second. This should be equal to the speed that is supported by your modem (usually
2400).
The remote console port rate can be turned on or off. ON is the high voltage and OFF is the
low voltage, within the definitions for control lines for both RS-232c and V.28.
