Console Redirection submenu

The Console Redirection submenu allows you to configure the communication
between the unit (via a serial port) and your remote computer's
terminal-emulation program. Console redirection allows you to control the unit
from a remote display and keyboard (such as, a computer connected to your unit
via its serial port).
❖ Note that the settings of your terminal-emulation program running on your
remote computer must match the following console serial redirection settings to
facilitate communication with your unit.
