Setting Up a Terminal 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 interface, which
comes pre-installed on the switch along with the AT-S24 switch
software. To start an Omega management session, perform the
following steps:
1. Connect a terminal or a PC with a terminal emulator program to the
RS232 connector on the front panel of the switch. Use an RS232, DB-9
straight-through cable.
2. Configure the terminal or the terminal emulation program to the
following settings:
#
Baud rate:
9600
#
Data bits:
8
#
Parity:
None
#
Stop bits:
1
#
Flow control:
None
3. Press
Return
.
The switch displays the Omega main menu.
You are now ready to use the Omega management software
interface to configure the switch. For instructions, refer to the
AT-S24 Management Software User’s Guide
, which is available
from the Allied Telesyn web site.
