A locked-out user will remain locked-out until the specified time elapses, the

CCM is power-cycled or the user is unlocked by an administrator with the

2. To disable Security Lock-out, issue a Server Security command, using the

Managing the Port History Buffer

Each CCM serial port has a circular history buffer that contains the latest 64K

bytes of data received from the attached serial device. This information may be

helpful in analyzing attached device anomalies.

The history buffer begins filling with received data upon completion of CCM

initialization, even if no user is connected. When you connect to a serial

port, the data that was received from the attached serial device prior to the

connection is available in the buffer. Once online, new data continues to be

stored in the buffer. You may choose whether to display the history buffer’s

content automatically when you connect and whether to keep or discard the

history buffer’s content at the end of a session.

When more than 64K bytes of data are sent to the history buffer, data at the top

of the buffer is discarded to make room for the new data. As a result, the buffer

always contains the most recent 64K bytes of port history.

Using port history mode commands

Once you issue a Port History command to enter port history mode, you may

issue the commands listed in the following table. Only the first letter of the

command is required.
