CCM Appliance Commands
Connect Command
The Connect command establishes a connection from the console port of the CCM appliance to a
device attached to a serial port on that CCM appliance. To use this command, you must have
previously issued a Server CLI command with the Connect=On parameter. For more information,
see Connecting to Serial Devices on page 17.
Your ability to connect to another port is also affected by session sharing. For more information,
see Session sharing on page 23.
When the connect completes successfully, the message Connected to port x: will be displayed,
followed by the values for port_number,baud,bits_per_character,parity,stop_bits,flow_control.
Access right: port-specific
Access level: ADMIN, APPLIANCEADMIN or users with access to port
