local>show port 2

Port 2: Server: DS90_1

Character Size: 8 Input Speed: 9600
Flow Control: None <<< Output Speed: 9600
Parity: None Signal Control: Disabled
Stop Bits: 1

Access: Remote Local Switch: None
Backwards Switch: None Name: PORT_2
Break: Disabled Session Limit: 1
Forwards Switch: None Type: Ansi
Default Protocol: LAT

Dedicated Service: VMAL01

Authorized Groups: 0
(Current) Groups: 0

Enabled Characteristics:
Autoconnect, Failover, Lock

Local> connect vmal01
Local -010- Session 1 to VMAL01 on node DS90_1 established

the same result.
