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 AT-9000/28 Gigabit Ethernet ecoSwitch to the Console Port on the front panel of the switch, as shown in Figure 14.

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:

ˆBaud rate: Default is 9600 bps

ˆData bits: 8

ˆParity: None

ˆStop bits: 1

ˆFlow control: None

Note

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