Using the Console Interface 51
Configure Console
You can use the Console Options screen to choose whether to use the Switch’s RS-232C serial port for
console management or for out-of-band TCP/IP communications using SLIP, and to set the bit rate used for
SLIP communications. Note that the DES-3624i/DES-3624iF/DES-3624iFM has an RS-232C serial port but
the DES-3624/DES-3624F/DES-3624FM does not.
Choose Configure Console to access the last item on the System Configuration menu. The following
screen appears:
Figure 6-10. Console Options screen
The following fields can be set:
Settings on Restart:
♦ Console Timeout This setting for the restart of the console is 15 mins, 30 mins, 45 mins, 60 mins, or
Never.
♦ Serial Port Determines whether the serial port should be used for out-of-band (SLIP) management or
for console management, starting from the next time the Switch is restarted. In this field, you can
toggle between SLIP or console port type settings.
♦ Baud Rate Determines the serial port bit rate that will be used the next time the Switch is restarted.
Applies only when the serial port is being used for out-of-band (SLIP) management; it does not apply
when the port is used for the console port. Available speeds are 2400, 9600, 19,200 and 38,400 bits per
second. The default setting in this Switch version is 9600.
