The Multichannel Media Converter Management Module terminal
emulator interface permits the network administrator to display status
messages and to display and to modify selected network settings.
CAUTION: IP parameters can be set and/or modified ONLY at the
attached terminal Interface.
The Multichannel Media Converter command-line interface is accessible
using a terminal or terminal emulator attached to the PS/2 serial port on
the Multichannel Media Converter.
NOTE: The serial port cable is attached directly to a DTE device through
the serial port management control cable shipped with the Multichannel
Media Converter.

flow control Xon/Xoff
3. Using methods appropriate to the attached terminal, verify that
the serial port parameters of the attached terminal match the
