 ====== Serial Console speed/tty ======
-The AstLinux board type of "geni586-serial" assumes a serial console of 19200 baud on /dev/ttyS0 .  Described here is a method to change the serial console speed/tty, not only currently but also automatically after upgrades.
+!!Note ->!! For AstLinux 1.3.0 and later, all serial consoles are ''115200 baud 8N1''.
-This applies to the board type of "geni586-serial" and all other serial console board types, "net5501", "alix", etc. .
+!!Note ->!! For AstLinux 1.2.10 and earlier, all serial consoles are ''19200 baud 8N1'', unless otherwise noted.

 To issue this command you must either SSH into the AstLinux box, or use the CLI tab in the web interface with the "CLI Proxy Server" enabled in the Network tab.  Some example command arguments are:
-Set console speed to 38400 baud, using default ttyS0
+Set console speed to 19200 baud, using default ttyS0
-  setconsole-speed-tty 38400
+  setconsole-speed-tty 19200
 Set console speed to 115200 baud, using /dev/ttyS1

-While this ''setconsole-speed-tty'' command is mostly intended for the board type of "geni586-serial" so as to support additional hardware without creating new board types, this command may also be useful for other board types.  For example, suppose you have both Soekris net5501 (19200 baud default) and PC Engines alix (38400 baud default) hardware and want a common terminal to as a console.  The net5501 can have it's default console speed easily changed via it's BIOS to 38400 baud, and then issue ''setconsole-speed-tty 38400'' on the net5501.  Now both the net5501 and alix boxes will use serial consoles at 38400 baud.
