5.7.10 Configuring the COM Port
The 2H28-08R COM port supports the following applications:
• Local Management connections
• American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
connections
To configure the COM port, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Com field.
!
CAUTION
Before altering the COM port settings, ensure that a valid IP
address is set for the device. (Refer to
Section 5.7.1 , Setting
the IP Address .) Read this entire COM port configuration
section before changing the COM port settings.
NOTE
Refer to the Release Notes included with the 2H28-08R to
verify which COM Port applications are currently supported.
!
CAUTION
Do NOT disable or alter the settings of the COM port while
operating the current Local Management connection through a
terminal. Altering the COM port settings disconnects the Local
Management terminal from the port, and ends the Local
Management session.
If you are disconnected accidently, and the 2H28-08R was
previously assigned a valid IP address, reenter Local
Management by establishing a Telnet connection to the device.
If the device does not have a valid IP address and the COM
port has been disabled or the settings changed, reset NVRAM
on the 2H28-08R (refer to
Appendix C , Section C.2.1 ) to
reestablish COM port communications. Clearing NVRAM
results in the loss of all user-entered parameters.
