Configuring X-On/X-Off Protocol; Converting The Console Port To A Modem Port - Alcatel OmniSwitch 8800 Hardware User's Manual

Chassis Management Module (CMM)

Configuring X-ON/X-OFF Protocol

By default, X-ON/X-OFF protocol is enabled on the console port. To enable and disable the X-ON/X-OFF
protocol on a console port that you are logged into use the
xon-xoff followed by either enable or disable.
For example, to disable X-ON/X-OFF on a console port enter:
-> session xon-xoff disable
Note. To enable or disable the X-ON/X-OFF protocol on the secondary CMM you must log into the
secondary CMM and then execute the session xon-xoff command.

Converting the Console Port to a Modem Port

If you require a modem connection to the switch, you must convert the console port to support modem
connections by installing a hardware jumper on the CMM. To configure the console port to support
modem connections, refer to the steps below.
Anti-Static Warning. Eliminate any static electricity by grounding yourself properly. Refer to Using the
