Console Port Settings

– 152 –

Exec Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits until user input

is detected. If user input is not detected within the timeout interval, the

current session is terminated. (Range: 60-65535 seconds;

Default: 600 seconds)

Password Threshold – Sets the password intrusion threshold, which

limits the number of failed logon attempts. When the logon attempt

threshold is reached, the system interface becomes silent for a

specified amount of time (set by the Silent Time parameter) before

allowing the next logon attempt. (Range: 1-120; Default: 3 attempts)

Silent Time – Sets the amount of time the management console is

inaccessible after the number of unsuccessful logon attempts has been
exceeded. (Range: 1-65535 seconds; Default: Disabled)

Data Bits – Sets the number of data bits per character that are

interpreted and generated by the console port. If parity is being

generated, specify 7 data bits per character. If no parity is required,

specify 8 data bits per character. (Default: 8 bits)

Stop Bits – Sets the number of the stop bits transmitted per byte.

(Range: 1-2; Default: 1 stop bit)

Parity – Defines the generation of a parity bit. Communication

protocols provided by some terminals can require a specific parity bit

setting. Specify Even, Odd, or None. (Default: None)

Speed – Sets the terminal line’s baud rate for transmit (to terminal)

and receive (from terminal). Set the speed to match the baud rate of

the device connected to the serial port. (Range: 9600, 19200, 38400,

57600, or 115200 baud; Default: 115200 baud)
