10BASE-T Stackable Hubs
Out-of-band management and console
settings
You can use the Out-of-Band/Console Setting menu to choose whether to use
the hub’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.
The following fields can be set:
♦
System Restart Out-of-Band Baud Rate:
determines the serial port
bit rate that will be used the next time the hub 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 1200, 2400, 9600, and 19200 bits per
second.
♦
Out-of-Band Dial Up Phone Number:
stored as a reference for the
benefit of the system manager; does not actually cause the hub to dial
out.
♦
System Restart Serial Port Setting:
determines whether the serial
port should be used for out-of-band (SLIP) management or for
console management, starting from the next time the hub is restarted.
