14 AT-9900 Series Switch

How to Configure the Switch

Some configuration is necessary to enable the switch’s advanced switching

capabilities. This is achieved via the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Using the CLI to configure a switch

1. Connect a terminal or PC to RJ-45 (ASYN0)

Use a RJ-45 straight-through cable to connect your terminal or PC to the

RS-232 terminal port on the switch’s front panel.

2. Set the communication parameters

Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation

program to:

• Bit rate: 9600

• Data bits: 8

•Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: Hardware

3. Check the power supply

For AC models, ensure that the switch is receiving power (PWR LED is lit

green).

For DC models, ensure that the Run/Standby switch is in the On or Run

position and that the switch is receiving power (PWR LED is lit green).

4. Log in

After the switch has booted, the login prompt appears. If the login prompt

does not appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an

account with manager privileges. The account has the login name manager

and the password is friend.

At the login prompt, enter the login name and password:

Password: friend

The switch’s command prompt appears. Now use the CLI to configure the

switch.
