6.3.11 Console Port Settings
The onboard configuration program can be accessed by attaching a VT100
compatible device to the ECN330’s serial console port. Management access
through the console port is controlled by various parameters, including a
password, timeouts, and basic communication settings. These parameters can
be configured using the web or CLI interface.
Command Attributes
• 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)
• 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: 0
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)
• Silent Time – Sets the amount of time the management console is
inaccessible after the number of unsuccessful logon attempts has been
exceeded. (Range: 0-65535; Default: 0)
• Data Bits – Sets the number of data bits per character that are
interpreted and generated by the console port. If parity is being
generated, specify 7 data bits per character. If no parity is required,
specify 8 data bits per character. (Default: 8 bits)
• Parity – Defines the generation of a parity bit. Communication protocols
provided by some terminals can require a specific parity bit setting.
Specify Even, Odd, or None. (Default: None)
• Speed – Sets the terminal line’s baud rate for transmit (to terminal) and
receive (from terminal). Set the speed to match the baud rate of the
device connected to the serial port. (Range: 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, or 115200 baud; Default: 9600 baud)
