Starting A Local Management Session; Figure 78: Connecting The Management Cable To The Console Rs-232 Port - Allied Telesis AlliedWare Plus x950 Series Installation Manual

Starting a Local Management Session

This procedure explains how to start a local management session on the
switch. It assumes that you powered on the device and waited two minutes
for it to initialize its operating software.
Note
The first management session of the switch can be either a local
session, as explained in this section, or a remote session over your
network through the NET MGMT port. For remote management, the
switch uses either its default IP address 192.168.42.42 or an
address assigned to it by a DHCP server. For instructions on how to
start a remote management session, refer to the Software
Reference for x950 Switches, AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the management card included with the
switch to the Console RS-232 port on the management panel. Refer to
Figure 78.
