Width
Number of characters displayed before wrapping the line
Inactive session timeout
Number of minutes that a session remains inactive before the device terminates it
Console Port
The console port is an asynchronous serial port that allows you to connect to the device for initial configuration
through a standard RS-232 port with an RJ-45 connector. Any device connected to this port must be capable
of asynchronous transmission. You can configure the following parameters for the console port:
Data bits
Specifies the number of bits in an 8-bit byte that is used for data.
Inactive session timeout
Specifies the number of minutes a session can be inactive before it is terminated.
Parity
Specifies the odd or even parity for error detection.
Speed
Specifies the transmission speed for the connection.
Stop bits
Specifies the stop bits for an asynchronous line.
Configure your terminal emulator with 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
COM1 Port
A COM1 port is an RS-232 port with a DB-9 interface that enables you to connect to an external serial
communication device such as a modem. You can configure the following parameters for the COM1 port:
Data bits
Specifies the number of bits in an 8-bit byte that is used for data.
Hardware flowcontrol
Enables the flow-control hardware.
Parity
Specifies the odd or even parity for error detection.
Speed
Specifies the transmission speed for the connection.
Stop bits
Specifies the stop bits for an asynchronous line.
