Console/Serial Link

From the switch console only you can configure the following console
terminal emulation and communication characteristics:

Enable or disable inbound Telnet access (default: enabled)

Enable or disable HP web browser interface access (default: enabled)

Specify:

Terminal type (default: VT-100)

Console screen refresh interval for statistics screens (the frequency
with which statistics are updated on the screen—default: 3 seconds)

The types of events displayed in the console event log (default: all)

Customize the Console configuration for the PC or terminal you are using
for console access.

Baud Rate (default: Speed Sense)

Flow Control (default: XON/XOFF)

Connection Inactivity Time (default: 10 minutes)

In most cases, the default configuration is acceptable for standard operation.
If you need to change any of the above parameters, use the switch console.

N o t e

If you change the Baud Rate or Flow Control settings for the switch, you
should make the corresponding changes in your console access device. Oth-
erwise, you may lose connectivity between the switch and your terminal
emulator due to differences between the terminal and switch settings for these
two parameters.
