Vertiv Avocent ACS6000 Command Reference Guide

3 PORT ACCESS AND CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
By default, all serial ports and the AUX/Modem port are disabled. An administrator must enable and
configure the ports before anyone can use them. Configuration of ports differs based on the type of
connected device, which can be either a device console, a PDU or modem.
By default, all users can access all enabled and configured ports. The administrator must decide whether
to restrict user access to ports by the assignment of authorizations to user groups. A user who is in an
authorized group is referred to as an authorized user.
Some port configuration tasks are provided as examples of how to use the CLI. See the Avocent ACS6000
Installation/Administration/User Guide for an overview of the tasks the administrator must do to configure
restricted access to ports. For more information about how to follow the web manager procedures in the
CLI, see Configuration Tasks Performed With the CLI on page 2.
This section describes the following tasks related to port access, configuration, power management and
where the tasks are performed in the CLI.
