Allied Telesis AT-9900s manual Connecting the Switch, Using the CLI to configure a switch

Installation and Safety Guide

Connecting the Switch

Before you begin these procedures, ensure that the switch has at least one power supply unit installed and operating. Another power supply unit or a fan-only module must be installed in the other bay.

Using the CLI to configure a switch

1.Physically connect the terminal or PC to the ASYN0 port on the front panel of the switch.

For AT-8948 and AT-9900 switches, use the RJ-45 straight-through cable that is supplied.

2.Set communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation program to the following:

•bit rate: 9600

•data bits: 8

•parity: None

•stop bits: 1

•flow control: Hardware

3.Check the power supply.

For AC models, ensure that the switch is receiving power (PWR LED is lit green).

For DC models, ensure that the Run/Standby switch is in the On or Run position and that the switch is receiving power (PWR LED is lit green).

4.Log in.

After the switch has booted, the login prompt is displayed. If not, press the Enter key two or three times.

When the switch boots for the first time, it automatically creates an account with manager privileges. The login name for the account is manager and the password is friend.

At the login prompt, enter the login name and password as follows:

Login: manager

Password: friend

The switch’s command prompt is displayed for you to use the CLI to configure it. Refer to the Software Reference for more information about configuring the software.
