set profile
Purpose
Associates a particular port with one of several port configuration profiles, or displays the current
port-profile settings.
Port profiles are a defined set of port configuration settings for a particular use. A port profile
reconfigures serial-port settings to the necessary default values in order for the profile to operate
correctly.
Port-profile configuration is most often performed through the Web user interface for a device. It is
not often specified from the command line, but is available if needed.
ConnectPort LTS devices support several port profiles. Following is the complete set of port profiles.
The profiles supported on your product may vary.
