CONSOLE PORT SETTINGS
Use the System > Console menu to configure connection parameters for
the switch’s console port. You can access the onboard configuration
program by attaching a VT100 compatible device to the switch’s serial
console port. Management access through the console port is controlled by
various parameters, including a password (only configurable through the
CLI), time outs, and basic communication settings. Note that these
parameters can be configured via the web or CLI interface.

PARAMETERS
The following parameters are displayed in the web interface:
◆ Login Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits for a user to
log into the CLI. If a login attempt is not detected within the timeout
interval, the connection is terminated for the session.
(Range: 0-300 seconds; Default: 0 seconds)
◆ Exec Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits until user input
is detected. If user input is not detected within the timeout interval, the
current session is terminated. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: 600
seconds)
◆ Password Threshold – Sets the password intrusion threshold, which
limits the number of failed logon attempts. When the logon attempt
threshold is reached, the system interface becomes silent for a
specified amount of time (set by the Silent Time parameter) before
allowing the next logon attempt. (Range: 0-120; Default: 3 attempts)
◆ Quiet Period – Sets the amount of time the management console is
inaccessible after the number of unsuccessful logon attempts has been
exceeded. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: Disabled)
