Setting Up the BitStorm L3S-T Management Console

You must connect a management console to the BitStorm L3S-T to change its IP address, subnet mask and

default gateway. If this Switch is also a stack master, this IP address information applies to the entire stack.

These settings are made using the BitStorm L3S-T's built-in BitStorm L3S Series Device Manager. You reach

this software through a PC or terminal attached to the console port on the front of the BitStorm L3S-T Switch.

Attaching a console to the BitStorm L3S-T

Your management console can be a PC or terminal running VT100 terminal

emulation software, such as Windows Hyperlink.

●

Remove the rubber EN name plate covering the console port on the BitStorm

L3S-T's front panel.

●

Using the serial cable shipped with the unit, or your own null modem cable,

attach the management console to this port.

Important: Make sure you attach the management console to the BitStorm

L3S-T, not a slave switch. The BitStorm L3S-X console ports are for field

diagnostic purposes only.

●

Set the terminal to:●

Baud - 19200

Parity - None

Data Bits - 8

Stop Bit - 1

Flow Control - None

After installation:

Once the Switch is successfully installed on your network, you can manage it out-of-band directly at the console

port, over a modem, or in-band from any management station on the network.

You can use either the Console or Web version of the BitStorm L3S Series Device Manager, both of which are

built into the Switch, or any SNMP-compliant management system. See Management Options.
