4.2.10 Configuring the COM Port
Upon power up, the COM port is configured to the default settings of ENABLED and LM.
The COM port supports the following applications:
• Local Management connections
• American Power Conversion (APC) Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) connections
To configure the COM port, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Com field.
NOTE: Upon saving the new operational mode, the module will reboot.
If the SmartSwitch device is set to 802.1Q SWITCHING and is going to be
configured for VLANs, refer to
Chapter 7 to configure the SmartSwitch device for this
type of operation.
If the SmartSwitch device is set to SECURE FAST VLAN, refer to your SecureFast
documentation set to configure the SmartSwitch device for this type of operation.
CAUTION: Before altering the COM port settings, ensure that the SmartSwitch device
is set with a valid IP address. (Refer to
Section 4.2.1 .) Read this entire COM port
configuration section before changing the settings of the COM port.
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 the SmartSwitch device 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 SmartSwitch device using Mode Switch 7 to
reestablish COM port communications. For details about Switch 7 and its operation,
refer to the SmartSwitch device installation user’s guide shipped with your SmartSwitch
device.
