Common Settings - Black Box LES1101A-R2 User Manual

Select Serial & Network: Serial Port and you will see the current labels, modes, logging levels, and RS-232 protocol options that are currently
set up for each serial port.
By default, each serial port is set in Console Server mode. To reconfigure the port, click Edit.
When you have reconfigured the common settings (Chapter 5.1.1) and the mode (Chapters 5.1.2–5.1.6) for each port, you can set up any
remote syslog (Chapter 5.1.7), then click Apply.
NOTE: If you want to set the same protocol options for multiple serial ports at once, click Edit Multiple Ports and select which ports you
want to configure as a group.
If the console server has been configured with distributed Nagios monitoring enabled, then you will also be presented with Nagios Settings
options to enable nominated services on the Host to be monitored (refer Chapter 10—Nagios Integration).

5.1.1 Common Settings

There are a number of common settings that you can set for each serial port. These are independent of the mode in which the port is being
used. Set these serial port parameters to match the serial port parameters on the device you attach to that port.
Specify a label for the port.
Select the appropriate Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Flow Control for each port. (Note: The RS-485/RS-422 option is not
relevant for console servers.)
