Starting a Local Management Session

The procedure in this section explains how to start a local (out-of-band) management session using the RJ-45 terminal port on the switch. You can use a local management session to configure the switch’s operating parameters, and view performance and error statistics.

To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:

1.Connect the RJ-45 end of the management cable, included with the shipping package, to the Console port. The Console port is located on the front panel of the AT-9000/12POE, AT-9000/28, AT-9000/28POE, and AT-9000/28SP switches, as shown in Figure 18, and on the rear panel of the AT-9000/52 switch.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program.

3.Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program as follows:

Baud rate: Default is 9600 bps

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

Note

The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulator program.
