Setting Up for Local Management
If you are installing the switch in a TCP/IP environment or if you intend to
manage the switch from a remote site, you must first assign an IP address to
the switch using the Omega management software, which comes pre-installed
on the switch. To connect a terminal to the switch and start an Omega
management session, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a terminal to the RS232 connector on the front panel of the switch.
Use an RS232, DB-9 straight-through cable.
2. Access your terminal emulation program, that is, VT100.
3. Set your terminal emulator to the following:
"
Baud rate:
9600
"
Data bits:
8
"
Parity:
None
"
Stop bits:
1
"
Flow control:
None
4. Press
Return
.
The switch displays the Omega main menu.
You are now ready to use the Omega management interface to configure
the switch. For instructions, refer to the
AT-S24 Management Software
