Configuring Slip - Alcatel Omni Switch/Router User Manual

Changing Serial Port Communication Parameters
This configuration does not allow you to use the console port as an optional access method
since it is configured down. Using a cross-over cable, you could access the modem port
through an attached PC. If you could not use the modem port for some reason, you would
have to reboot the switch to get back, or—if the cable connection were the problem—use a
cross-over cable to connect through a PC.
A third valid configuration that keeps both ports active is:
modem port mode=console
console port mode=SLIP
This configuration allow you to use the modem port regularly and use a
access switch software through the console port.
A fourth valid configuration that keeps both ports active is:
modem port mode=auxiliary
console port mode=console
This configuration allow you to use the console and modem ports simultaneously to access
switch software.
