Starting a Local Management Session
This procedure explains how to start local management sessions on
the switch. You perform local management sessions by connecting
your computer to the Console port on the front panel. The switch
does not need an IP address for local management sessions.
Local management sessions require a management cable. If your
workstation has a DB-9 connector, you can use the cable that comes
with the switch. It is two meters long, with an RJ-45 connector that
connects to the Console port and a DB-9 connector that connects to
your computer. See “Unpacking the Switch” on page 7.
If your computer does not have a DB-9 connector, such as laptop
computer, Allied Telesis offers the VT-Kit3 management cable for
local management sessions. It has a USB-A male connector that
connects to a USB port on your computer. The VT-Kit3 management
cable and its software are sold separately.
To start a local management session with the management cable
that comes with the switch, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the management card included with
the switch to the Console RS-232 port on the management
panel.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a
terminal or personal computer with a terminal emulation
program.
3. Configure the VT-100 terminal or terminal emulation program as
follows:
Default baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rates of the Console port
are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps.)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow controller: None
4. Press Enter. You are prompted for a user name and password.
5. Enter the default user name and password. They are “manager”
and “friend” (without quotes), respectively. The user name and
password are case sensitive. The local management session
starts when the User Exec mode prompt is displayed: awplus>
