Configuring serial port parameters

Use the following CLI syntax to configure parameters on an RS-232 serial port.

CLI Syntax:

config# port port-id 
    no shutdown
    serial
        rs232
            character-length {6 | 7 | 8}
            control-lead
                input
                    dtr-dsr high
                    rts-dcd high
                exit
                output
                    dcd-rts high
                    cts-alb high
                    ri-rdl high
                exit
                monitor
                    dtr-dsr off
                    rts-dcd off
                exit
            hold-time {[up hold-time-up] [down hold-time-down]}
            no loopback
            parity {odd | even | mark | space}
            speed {600 | 1200 | 2400 | 4800 | 
9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 57600 | 115200}
            stop-bits {1|2}
            exit
        exit
    exit

The following CLI syntax shows an example of configuring an RS-232 serial port.

Example:

config# port 1/3/2
config>port# no shutdown
config>port# description "RS-232 Serial”
config>port# serial
config>port>serial# rs232
config>port>serial>rs232# character-length 8
config>port>serial>rs232# control-lead
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead# input
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>input# dtr-dsr high
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>input# rts-dcd high
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>input# exit
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead# output
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>output# dcd-rts high
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>output# cts-alb high
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>output# ri-rdl high
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>output# exit
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead# monitor
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>monitor# dtr-dsr off
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>monitor# rts-dcd off
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead>monitor# exit
config>port>serial>rs232>control-lead# exit
config>port>serial>rs232# hold-time up 100
config>port>serial>rs232# no loopback
config>port>serial>rs232# parity odd
config>port>serial>rs232# speed 9600
config>port>serial>rs232# stop-bits 1
config>port>serial>rs232# exit
config>port>serial# exit
config>port# exit
