Setting Up the Switch
5. Enter the modem initialization command in the Modem Init Cmd field.
The default modem configuration init command is AT&D0SO=1.
See Table 2-5 for a definition of the Modem Configuration Init
command parameters.
* Note: If you misconfigure the PPP serial console port, you can regain
CLI access to correct the configuration parameters. For more
information, see “Regaining Configuration Access to the PPP
Serial Port Console” later in this chapter.
Safety Tip: To successfully dial-in with PPP to the switch, you must also
configure an IP address and interface for the PPP Serial
Interface (Serial-Console). See “Managing Configuration
Files,” later in this chapter for more information.
6. Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to clear your
selection.
* Note: If you click Apply, the changes are saved in the Running config
only. The Startup config has not changed. Therefore, these and
other changes will be lost if your switch goes down or if you
power it off.
To save these changes, you must copy the Running config to
the Startup config. See “Copying Configuration Files” later in
this section.
CLI Command To configure the console serial port as a TTY console after you install a
mode, use the following CLI command:
(configure)# set console type {tty | ppp}
