Management Ports

The following management ports let you configure, monitor, and upgrade the

switch:

■ RS-232 Terminal Port (ASYN0)

■ Out-of-Band Ethernet Management Port (AT-9924Ts and x900-24X

switches only)

RS-232 Terminal Port (ASYN0)

The RS-232 ASYN0 port is standard for the x900 switches, and connects them

to a management device for initial configuration. This port allows the software

on the switch to be accessed from a terminal or a PC running terminal

emulation software.

The ASYN0 port has an RJ-45 socket with an industry recognised pinout. This

requires using a straight-through RJ-45 cable with an RJ-45 DB9 connector

when the switch is connected to a terminal or PC. The socket is wired as a DTE

and the pin layout is shown in the following figure and table.

Out-of-Band Ethernet Management Port

The out-of-band 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port is dedicated to management

traffic on the AT-9924Ts and x900-24X switches. Use it for initial configuration

and on-going management tasks. For remote access, use the default IP address,

192.168.242.242. This port is reserved for management only; the switch does

not transmit frames between this port and switch ports.
