Status
(view only)
Displays the status of the console port.
Baud Select the baud rate (speed) with which the device port exchanges data with the
attached serial device. Most devices use 9600 for the administration port, so the
console port defaults to this value.
Data Bits Select the number of data bits used to transmit a character. The default is 8 data
bits.
Stop Bits Select the number of stop bits that indicate that a byte of data has been transmitted.
The default is 1.
Parity Select the parity checking which detects simple, single-bit errors. The default is
none.
Flow Control Select a method of preventing buffer overflow and loss of data. The available
methods include none, xon/xoff (software), and RTS/CTS (hardware). The default is
none.
Timeout Click the No or Yes button. Input the number of minutes (1-30) if you clicked Yes
after which an idle session on the console is automatically logged out. Disabled by
default.
