1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the
Connect EZ local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.
2. At the command line, type config to enter configuration mode:
> config
(config)>
3. Serial ports is enabled by default. To disable:
(config)> serial port_number enable false
(config)>
Command line examples in this section will use port1 for the serial port. However, any port
number can be used.
4. Set the mode:
(config)> serial port1 mode remoteaccess
(config)>
5. Enable Altpin to use the Altpin feature. Altpin is disabled by default.
(config)> serial port1 altpin true
(config)>
This feature should be enabled when you are using a modem and an 8-pin cable and you need
CD(Carrier Detect). When enabled, the DTR on pin 1 drives DCD.
If altpin is disabled, the hardware signal on RJ45 pin 1 becomes DSR instead of DCD. This
alternative can be used if DCD is not required, and DSR is needed instead.
6. Set the signaling interface type used on this serial port:
n rs-232
l Enable rts_toggle if you want to enable RTStoggling during transmission on this
serial port. If enabled, this setting overrides RTS\CTSflow control:
(config)> serial port1 rts_toggle true
(config)>
l For rts_pre_delay, enter the amount of time RTSis asserted before starting data
transmission. The time is measured in milliseconds. The default is 0ms:
(config)> serial port1 "rts_pre_delay value
(config)>
l For rts_post_delay, enter the amount of time RTSis deasserted before completing
data transmission. The time is measured in milliseconds. The default is 0ms:
(config)> serial port1 rts_post_delay value
(config)>
