Configure the Auxiliary Port

The Auxiliary port can be configured while the HSM is in online, offline or secure state.

The variables to be configured are as follows:

·         Baud rate:          300 to 38.4k.

·         Data bits:           7 or 8 data bits.

·         Parity bit:           Odd, even or no parity.

·         Stop bits:           1 stop bit.

The procedure is similar to configuring the Console port. The following is an example of configuring the Auxiliary port for 9600 baud, 7 data bits, even parity and 1 stop bit.

Example:

 CA <Return>

In response to the prompts, enter the number of the

desired option or < RETURN > for no change.
