Starting a Local Management Session
This procedure explains how to start a local management session on a
stack. You can establish the session using any switch in the stack. After
establishing the session, go to “Verifying the Stack” on page 153. The
procedure requires a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.
Performing a local management session on the switch requires a
management cable. Allied Telesis offers two cables. One cable comes
with the switch. It has an RJ-45 (8P8C) connector that connects to the
Console port on the switch and a DB-9 (D-sub 9-pin) connector that
connects to your workstation. Refer to Figure 82.
Figure 82. Management Cable Included with Switch
For workstations that do not have a DB-9 connector, such as laptop
computers, Allied Telesis offers the optional VT-Kit3 management cable.
Refer to Figure 83. The cable has a USB-A male connector that connects
to a USB port on your workstation.
Figure 83. VT-Kit3 Management Cable
To use the cable, you connect it to the Console port with a standard,
straight-through Ethernet cable. Refer to Figure 84 on page 151. The
cable requires a software driver from Allied Telesis. The VT-Kit3
management cable is sold separately.
