2

Type “0” to reset the baud rate to the default (19200 bps), or select a
specific baud rate and press Enter.

3

Reset the IAD to use the new console port settings. Be sure the terminal
settings are the same as the console port settings.

NOTICE:

The new baud rate table will take effect only after you either recycle the
power or reset the IAD.

Configure Console Timeout

To maintain security, you can set the amount of time a console or Telnet
session remains alive before termination due to inactivity. To set the timeout
period, follow these steps:

1

Type “V” on the Utilities menu to display the Console Timeout Status and a
prompt for you to enter a new Timeout value or disable the Timeout.

2

Type a value between 0-60 minutes (default 3) and press Enter or type “0”
(zero) to disable the Timeout feature.

CAUTION:

When the Timeout value is set to zero, sessions will stay alive
indefinitely, and may pose a security risk. Quitting a terminal
emulator session does not terminate the console port session. You
must log off before quitting to avoid creating a security risk.

Reset or Reload ACOS from FLASH

When you perform a hard reset, the IAD resets, using all values set during the
active session and reloads ACOS from flash memory. To perform a hard
reset, follow these steps:

1

Type “R” on the Utilities menu. The IAD displays the following:

Are you sure you want to do a Hard Reset? (Y/N)->

2

Enter “Y” to immediately perform a hard reset and reload ACOS.
