Checking and Changing Port Configuration
Use this topic to ensure that serial port configuration is correct. You can
display and change port configuration from either the command line or
the web interface (PortServer TS 8/16 only). This topic addresses the command line only. For information
regarding the web interface, access the port and then use the online help.
