Getting Started — Omega
ATI’s Omega management software is pre-installed and immediately
operational once power is applied. Configuring you network depends,
however, upon the requirements of your particular environment.
Your switch can operate either standalone when the backbone port is not
connected to an ATM network — or as an Ethernet switch/ATM Emulated
LAN when the backbone port is connected to an ATM network and
functioning.
Omega management enables you to access and configure your switch to
ELANs through a network accessible LECS.
Omega Main Menu
Omega’s Main menu enables you to access the submenus that are needed to
configure your Ethernet and ATM network. Use the following information to
access the Main menu:
1. Connect the serial port of your terminal or PC to the RS232 console port
located on the front panel. For a PC connection, use a standard 9-pin serial
cable.
2. Access your terminal either directly or through the terminal emulator
program in Microsoft Windows.
3. Press the <RETURN> key several times. This will ensure auto configuration
of the appropriate baud rate.
NOTE
You do not need to configure Omega if your default terminal is as follows: Data
bits: 8, Stop bits: 1, Parity: 0, Connector: Com1/Com2 (PC/terminal dependent)
