Chapter 5: Console Management
GE-DS-82 and 82-PoE Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual 143
NOTE: If you are not familiar with console command or the related parameter, enter
"help" anytime in console to get the help description.
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method
is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system during
system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of
the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC
attachment can use any terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal
serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP.
