ONSOLE ORT ETTINGS
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.

The following parameters are displayed in the web interface:
Login Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits for a user to
u
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
u
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
u
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
u
inaccessible after the number of unsuccessful logon attempts has been
exceeded. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: Disabled)
Data Bits – Sets the number of data bits per character that are
u
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)
Stop Bits – Sets the number of the stop bits transmitted per byte.
u
(Range: 1-2; Default: 1 stop bit)
Parity – Defines the generation of a parity bit. Communication
u
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)
u
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, or
– 128 –
auto; Default: 115200 baud)
