Installation
Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or more
components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or network
cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure that all the other
components are functioning properly.
In-Band Access
You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within the
attached network using Telnet, a Web browser, or other network management
software such as AccView. However, you must first configure the switch with a valid
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a
link to the management agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection.
Then verify that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through
which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not been
disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your remote location
and the switch.
Note: You can configure the management agent to accept one to four simultaneous
Telnet sessions. If the maximum number of sessions already exists, an
additional Telnet connection will not be able to log into the system.
