INFO: Switch startup complete.
The start-up process is complete and the switch will now perform basic
switching operations. Further configuration will be necessary if you wish to
access the switch’s full layer 3 switching capabilities. See the AT-9800 Series
Software Reference for detailed information on configuring the switch.
RS-232 Terminal Port (ASYN0)
This section introduces the switch’s RS-232 Terminal Port (ASYN0), including
its pin assignment and purpose.
The RS-232 ASYN0 Terminal Port is used to connect the switch to a
management device for initial configuration and switch management tasks.
This allows the switch’s software to be accessed from a terminal, a PC running
terminal emulation software, or from a remote location via a modem
connection. You can also use ASYN0 to establish a network connection from a
remote site using SLIP and a modem.
ASYN0 has a DCE female socket. This allows the use of a straight-through
cable when connecting the switch to a terminal or PC. Output from the SHOW
ASYN command will, however, still have a DTE perspective. The internal DTE
pin roles are listed in Table 3 on page 16.
See “Useful Cables” on page 16 for more information on suitable cables to use
with ASYN0.
