Expert mode provides additional options for custom configuration of serial ports, such as
assigning an alias to a serial port, specifying individual parameters to the serial ports (or groups
of serial ports) or using any of several other connection protocols.
To set parameters for all serial ports:
This step configures all serial ports with the same values. Use this form if all the devices
connected to the serial ports on the console server can run using the same connection protocol
with the same speed. Also, make sure the values you specify here are the same as those in effect
on the connecteddevices.
If the connected devices require different connection protocols and speed, configure individual
settings in Expert mode - Ports - Physical Ports.
1. Change serial ports parameters as needed.
2. To change whether authentication is required, check the Authentication Required checkbox
to enable or leave it unchecked to disable.
3. Select apply changes to save configuration to Flash or continue the configuration.

Step 4: Access
Selecting Step 4: Access enables you to add or delete user accounts and set or change existing
passwords.
In addition, administrative privileges can be granted to added users by adding the user accounts
to an admin group, enabling them to administer the connected devices without the ability to
change the configuration of the console server. By default any user can access any port as long
as a valid user ID and password are used.
