Configuring MPX Serial Ports

The serial communications parameters for the two

MPX

serial ports are set by default to the

following:

• 9600 bits per second (bps)
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• no hardware flow control (Windows 95)

Each serial port supports serial data rates of

1200

,

9600

,

19200

, and

38400

bps. However, you

must remove the default baud rate shunt (E1), which fixes the baud rate at 9600 bps, before
you can change the baud rate. This shunt is located near the front end of the

MPX’s

circuit

board, just to the right of the Ethernet management port.

To change the serial port configuration parameters, use the

ser

command, which is described

in detail in Chapter 6, “Configuring Management Processor Modules.”
