The speed with which the device port exchanges data with the attached serial device.

From the drop-down list, select the baud rate. Most devices use 9600 for the administration port, so the console port defaults to this value.

Number of data bits used to transmit a character. From the drop-down list, select the number of data bits. The default is 8 data bits.

The number of stop bits that indicate that a byte of data has been transmitted.

From the drop-down list, select the number of stop bits. The default is 1.

Parity checking is a rudimentary method of detecting simple, single-bit errors.

From the drop-down list, select the parity. The default is none.

A method of preventing buffer overflow and loss of data. The available methods include none, xon/xoff (software), and RTS/CTS (hardware). The default is none.

The number of minutes (1-30) after which an idle session on the console is automatically logged out. Disabled by default.

If selected, when you connect to the console port with a terminal emulator, you will see the last lines output to the console, for example, the SLC boot messages or the last lines output during a CLI session on the console.
