set term

Purpose

Allows for connecting a terminal to a device’s serial port and accessing the command line of the device.

In the cases where the default access to the terminal and the command line is on, this command is important if you want to use the serial port for purposes other than having a command line. That is, to use the serial port for another purpose, you must change the state of the serial port access from on to off.

To make sure that changes to terminal settings take effect, reboot the Digi device is recommended after entering this command.

Required permissions

For Digi products with two or more users, permissions must be set to set permissions s-term=read to display settings, and set permissions s‑term=rw to display and configure settings. See set permissions for details on setting user permissions for commands.
