CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT

9600 and the AT command set is supported. Set the terminal emulation type on the PC to VT100 and specify which PC COM port is being used. Then, set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and the baud rate to 9600 or 19200 bps. The default rate is 9600 bps. Then, dial into the switch. Use a terminal emulation package to connect over the modem.

In-Band Connections

Telnet

Telnet is a common terminal emulation application used in TCP/IP networks for remote terminal access to computer devices. Prior to accessing the switch in-band via Telnet or optional in-band management software, it must first be configured with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. This must be done via an out-of-band connection. Once the switch’s IP parameters are configured, the menu- driven System Configuration Program may be accessed from anywhere in the network. Telnet into the switch using its assigned IP address.

SNMP Network Connection

You can access the TigerSwitch 100’s on-board SNMP agent from any PC in the network that is running an SNMP-based manager (i.e., SMC’s EliteView). However, prior to accessing the switch this way, it must first be configured with a valid IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and community string using an out-of-band connection.
