AC models of Rapier Switches have a Redundant Power Supply (RPS) connector on their rear panel.

The Switch is designed to operate with the AT-PWR8000 RPS, which can be purchased separately. Contact your authorised Allied Telesyn distributer or reseller for more information.

Make sure that each cable connection is secure. The switch will now perform basic Layer 2 switching functions.

Some configuration is necessary if you wish to enable the switch’s advanced switching capabilities. The switch can be configured via the Command Line Interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Using the CLI to configure a switch

1.Connect a terminal or PC to the Terminal Port (ASYN0)

Using the supplied RS-232 DB9 straight-through cable, connect your terminal or PC to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the switch’s front panel.
