Console portparity is set to none, and number of data bits is set to 8. You cannotchange these values.Console Port Specifies the console port. The choices are 0 through 9; the default is 0.Specifying a port as a console port and enabling the Monitor parameterdisables the port for use with Connection Service.Continuous Self-Test Disabling continuous self-test, the default, causes the self-testdiagnostics to run only when turning on and resetting. When you set thisparameter to enable, the diagnostics run continuously, except when theserver is turned off or in monitor mode.Auto-Reboot The values available are “Boot monitor,” “Upload then reboot,” and“Reboot only. “ The setting takes effect when errors, or the softwareReBoot command, require the server to be rebooted.“Boot monitor” puts the server into monitor mode so it can be rebootedby the user. This setting prevents the communications server fromrebooting after a crash and allows the network manager to perform amemory dump or debugging procedures. You can perform memorydumps from a CS/2500 to an RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. You canperform memory dumps from a CS/2600 to its internal diskette drive orto an RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. For further information, refer to“Memory Dump Procedures” on page 6-5.“Upload then reboot” automatically dumps the communications server’smemory to the RBCS or TFTP/FTP server, then reboots thecommunications server. “Reboot only” (the default) automaticallyreboots the communications server.Monitor Specifies whether the port configured as the monitor port is always usedas a monitor port or only when the server is in monitor mode. Thedefault setting is “Disabled”; that is, the port functions as a monitor portonly when the server is in monitor mode.CS2500BookFile : Configuration Page 6 Thursday, December 11, 1997 10:44 AM
