SET TERMINAL MODE
Use the SET TERMINAL MODE command to set a serial (Console or Auxiliary)
port to command_line or SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol) mode. SLIP allows
TCP/IP connections over a serial line. Its primary application in the hub is to
allow you to connect a workstation running network management software to
a DMM serial port.
To open a SLIP session, enter the following commands from either serial port or
by using TELNET:
SET IP SUBNET_MASK mask SLIP (where the mask is the workstation’s IP
subnet)
SET IP IP_ADDRESS address SLIP (where the address is the DMM IP address
for the SLIP network)
SET TERMINAL port (baud, data_bits, parity, stop_bits) (set as appropriate for
the serial connection running SLIP)
SET TERMINAL port MODE SLIP (which sets the port to SLIP)
Use a standard break character to end the SLIP session and return the SLIP port
to command line mode.
Format
Example
The following command sets the console port to SLIP mode:
CB5000> set terminal console mode slip 155.104.12.16
