AT-9000 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

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.
