Changing the Console Serial Port Settings
You can use the Web Agent to change the communications settings 
for the serial port connection on the front panel of the Layer 3 
supervisor module. 
Initially, the switch’s console port is configured as a TTY Console to 
support a TTY connection. The Layer 2 and Layer 3 supervisor 
modules allow you to reconfigure the console serial port as a PPP 
Console to support a dial-in PPP connection using a modem.
* Note:  As a PPP console, you can change only the switch’s baud 
rate and flow control parameters. The flow control 
parameters are limited to None or Xon/Xoff.
