The COM port must be ENABLED if it will be used for Local
Management or UPS applications. Select DISABLED if you wish to
disable the COM port for additional module security.

Before altering the COM port settings, ensure that a valid IP
address is set for the module or chassis. (Refer to
Section 5.15.1 .) Read this entire COM port configuration
section before changing the settings of the COM port.

Do NOT disable or alter the settings of the COM port while
operating the current Local Management connection through a

Management terminal from the port, and ends the Local
Management session.
