Serial/Pass-Thru Port Administration

Creating a descriptive Pass-Thru port name

The Set Port Name command assigns a descriptive name to a Pass-Thru port. You may use this name
in commands that require a port name as an alternative to using the port’s absolute name.

To create an port name:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set port name, followed by the absolute outlet name and a descriptive
name of up to 24 alphanumeric and other typeable characters (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal - spaces are not
allowed). Port names are not case sensitive. Press Enter.

NOTE: Port names ‘1’ thru ‘64’, ‘CONSOLE’ and ‘MODEM’ are reserved system names and may not be used.

Example

The following command adds the descriptive name Router1 to port 1:

Sentry: set port name 1 Router1<Enter>

Setting the serial/Pass-Thru ports data-rate

The Set Port Speed command sets the default data-rate for all serial/ Pass-Thru ports.
Valid data-rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.

To set the serial/Pass-Thru port data-rate:

At the Sentry: prompt, type set port speed, follow by the data-rate and press Enter.

Example

The following command sets the serial/Pass-Thru ports data-rate to 38400 BPS:
