REMOTE MANAGEMENT SWITCH
2) Password. The password is used for logging into the menu system and in every
escape sequence. The factory-default password is “TEST.” The security code may be 1
to 8 characters. These characters can be any ASCII character except NULL (00
hex). To change the password, you must re-enter the current password. A prompt
for a new password appears. After you enter the new password, a confirmation
appears.

3) Baud Rate. The Remote Management Switch can operate at speeds from 300 to
115,200 bps. Simply enter the desired baud rate followed by the Enter key. Valid
selections are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600, and
115,200.
The baud rate set only affects the code and menu control of the Switch. Once
connection to a port is made, the Switch is transparent to the speed and character
format sent.
4) Parity and Data Bits. The Remote Management Switch can operate with a 7- or
8-bit data frame, and odd, even, or no parity. You need only set the parity: None,
Even, or Odd. The Switch automatically determines the number of data bits and
stop bits.
5) Lead Control. This selection determines whether control leads from the
switched ports can be used to access the master port. The factory default is lead
control disabled. Select Yes or No.
6) Command Response. The Switch can send a response to escape sequences to let
the operator know that the switch has taken place. The factory default is responses
disabled. Select Yes or No to change the setting.
7) Modem or Terminal Mode. Sets the Switch for either terminal or modem use.
Each time you select 7 Mode, this setting toggles.
Modem mode: The Remote Management Switch monitors the DCD lead from
the master port. Once the call is established, send the Escape to invoke the
auto rate detector, if required, then the Enter key to generate the Login
prompt, or any valid control code. Three unsuccessful login attempts causes
the Switch to hang up the modem. Use this setting when the Switch is
connected to a dial modem.
