AT-8700XL Series Switch

3.Log in

After the switch has booted, the log-in prompt appears. If the log-in prompt doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the switch boots for the first time, it automatically creates an account with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and the password is “friend”.

At the log-in prompt, enter the log-in name and password.

Login: manager

Password: friend

The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the switch using the command line interface.

Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:

set password

4.Load help files

To display help on a specific topic, enter: help topic

See the AT-8700XL Series Software Reference for more information on configuring the switch.

Using the GUI to configure a router:

This section describes how to establish a connection to the router through the GUI, so you can configure the router before installing it in your LAN. For more information about the GUI, see the Using the Graphical User Interface chapter of the AT-8700XL Series Software Reference.

1.Select a PC to browse to the router from

You can browse to the router from any PC that is running a supported operating system with a supported browser installed. JavaScript must be enabled. If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-ups, disable it while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration options and information in pop-up windows.

You need to know the PC’s subnet.
