The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 COM ports support the following 
applications:

Local Management connections

American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) 
connections

To configure the COM port, proceed as follows:

Use the arrow keys to highlight the Com field.

Press the SPACE bar to choose either ENABLED or DISABLED. 
The COM port must be ENABLED if it will be used for Local 
Management or UPS applications. Select DISABLED if you wish to 
disable the COM port for additional module security.

Before altering the COM port settings, ensure that a valid IP 
address is set for the module or chassis. (Refer to 

COM port configuration section before changing the settings of 
the COM port.

Refer to the Release Notes included with the 6E12X-26 and 
6E13X-25 to verify which COM Port applications are currently 
supported.

Do NOT disable or alter the settings of the COM port while 
operating the current Local Management connection through a 
terminal. Altering the COM port settings disconnects the Local 
Management terminal from the port, and ends the Local 
Management session.

If the COM port is reconfigured without a valid IP address set 
on the module or chassis, the message shown in 

 

displays. Do not continue unless the outcome of the action is 
fully understood.
