Starting a Local Management Session
The procedure in this section explains how to start a local (out-of-band)
management session using the RS-232 Terminal Port on the front panel
of the switch. You can use a local management session to configure the
switch’s operating parameters and view performance and error
statistics.
Note
If you have already installed an AT-8000 Series Switch on your
network and configured it as a Master switch, you can begin to
remotely manage the new switch that you have just installed by
connecting, locally or remotely, to the Master switch and then
changing to the new switch through the management software.
For instructions, refer to the AT-S39 Management Software
User’s Guide.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect one end of the RS-232, straight-through management
cable to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the front panel of the switch.

or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program.
