Configuring Serial Port Settings - Avocent CPS810 Installer/User Manual

Configuring Serial Port Settings

By factory default, Port 1 of the CPS is configured as the Serial Command
Line Interface, which inhibits using Port 1 with an attached serial device. The
remaining ports are configured for an attached serial device with these settings:
Baud rate
Bits per Character
Parity
Stop Bits
Flow Control
Your attached serial devices may require different settings. This section
describes how to use the CPS CLI to change CPS serial port settings to match
the serial ports of your attached servers. The CPS CLI uses a single command,
"PORT SET" to define baud rate, bits per character, parity, stop bits, and flow
control. You can also use the PORT SET command to disable the Serial CLI
and make Port 1 available for use with an attached serial device.
This section will describe how to use this command to change serial port
settings and to disable the Serial CLI on Port 1. You can disable the Serial
CLI after initial configuration. Once initial configuration is completed, the
TELNET CLI can be used to change CPS configuration. This allows Port 1 of
the CPS to be attached to a serial device.
To change Port 2 to the following settings:
Baud rate
Bits per Character
Parity
Stop Bits
Flow Control
Use the following command:
> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XONXOF
To disable the Serial CLI, use the following command:
> PORT 1 SET CLI=OFF
Both commands will update the CPS Configuration Database, but disabling the
Serial CLI on Port 1 requires a reboot.
