Configuring serial communication parameters
In addition to the communication options that are normally available to serial devices in the DSView 3 software, you can configure the following communication parameters on a serial port:
|
•
|
Detect if a modem in use is still turned on and active. |
|
•
|
Monitor a Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal. By doing this, the system can generate an alarm if a serial console cable is removed from the console server or if a target device attached to the console server is powered down. |
To configure serial communication parameters:
|
1.
|
In a Units View window containing an ACS 5000 console server, click Appliance Settings - Ports - Serial in the side navigation bar. |
|
2.
|
Click the serial port you wish to configure. |
|
3.
|
Click Communication from the side navigation bar. |
|
4.
|
Configure the communication parameters and the DCD signal. |
NOTE: Communication settings must match the settings in the target device.
