6.6.11 Enabling the COM Port
To enable the COM port, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Com 1 field.
2. Press the SPACE bar to choose either ENABLE or DISABLE.
!
CAUTION
Do NOT disable or alter the settings of the COM port while
operating the current Local Management connection through a
terminal. Altering the COM port settings disconnects the Local
Management terminal from the port, and ends the Local
Management session.
If the 8H02-16 was previously assigned a valid IP address,
reenter Local Management by establishing a Telnet connection
to the device. If the device does not have a valid IP address,
reset NVRAM on the 8H02-16 (refer to Appendix C) in order to
reestablish COM port communications.
!
CAUTION
If the COM port is reconfigured without a valid IP address set
on the device, the message shown in Figure 6-6 appears.
Do not continue unless the outcome of the action is fully
understood.
