This section defines the user menu system presented to a user connected to the CiM via a
Terminal Emulator or telnet. In the process of configuring each parameter, an overview
of the parameter and its impact on the configuration of the CiM is provided.
When connecting via a Terminal Emulator, the computer should be attached to the
Console Port of the CiM. The terminal emulator should be configured to match the
console port setting. The default console port setting is 38,400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity,
1 stop bit and no flow control.
The Ethernet Speed Mode is a configurable parameter of the CiM and thus its exact
setting can vary between specific installations. The default setting allows the Ethernet
port to auto negotiate its link speed on power-up.
The CiM does not allow concurrent access to the menu via telnet and the console port. If
a user connects via telnet, CiM automatically disables the console port for the duration of
the telnet session.
