I expect you will have to find or make those serial cables.
I'm not aware of any way to reset console parameters except
from a serial console.

And make sure you disconnect the regular keyboard from the B132
once you have a serial cable attached. The system will automatically
use serial port 1 at console when it can't find a keyboard.
