How to set the serial console databits?

Hi,

 

 

Would anyone know how to configure the serial console data bits?

 

I think I somehow managed to set it accidentally to 5 and the serial console is now unusable.

 

 

What I did was editing file through serial console in VI editor and pressed "Ctrl+b" and the following message came to screen and after that it was not possible to do anything through the serial console:

 

 

*** databits: 5 ***

 

 

Now I'm thinking it somehow set the bits to 5 whereas it should be 8.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks!

    If all else fails, you can set the serial port parameters form the LCD screen at the front of the unit. (Requires physical access of course).
