8: Device Ports
SLCâ„¢ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 148
Note: The locallog commands can only be executed for a device port if local logging is
enabled for the port. The set locallog clear command can only be executed if the user
has permission to clear port buffers (see Chapter 12: User Authentication on page 217).
Console Port
The console port initially has the same defaults as the device ports. Use the Devices > Console
Port
page to change the settings, if desired.
To set console port parameters:
1. Click the Devices tab and select Console Port. The following page displays:
Figure 8-11 Devices > Console Port
2. Change the following as desired:
Baud The speed with which the device port exchanges data with the attached serial
device.
From the drop-down list, select the baud rate. Most devices use 9600 for the
administration port, so the console port defaults to this value.
Data Bits Number of data bits used to transmit a character. From the drop-down list, select
the number of data bits. The default is 8 data bits.
Stop Bits The number of stop bits that indicate that a byte of data has been transmitted.
From the drop-down list, select the number of stop bits. The default is 1.
Parity Parity checking is a rudimentary method of detecting simple, single-bit errors.
From the drop-down list, select the parity. The default is none.
Flow Control A method of preventing buffer overflow and loss of data. The available methods
include none, xon/xoff (software), and rts/cts (hardware). The default is none.
