CentOS 7.6¶

Note

This section uses the configuration files of CentOS 7.2 as an example. Configuration files of other types of OSs may be different.

Use the vi editor to open the /etc/sysconfig/grub file and add consoleblank=600 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 after the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX field.

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=512M rhgb quiet consoleblank=600 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

Run the following commands to update the configuration:
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 speed 115200
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyS0
To enable user root to log in to the BMS through a serial port, add ttyS0 to the end of the security configuration file /etc/securetty.
```
vc/1
...
vc/9
vc/10
vc/11
tty1

tty9
tty10
tty11
ttyS0
"securetty" 39L, 221C
```
Note
For CentOS 7, if garbled characters are displayed over the serial port, as shown in Figure 1, perform the following operations:
