Starting A Local Management Session; Figure 62: Connecting The Management Cable To The Console Rs-232 Port - Allied Telesis x950 Series Installation Manual

Starting a Local Management Session

After powering on the switch and waiting two minutes for it to initialize its
management software, start a local management session using the
Console port on the management panel, as explained in this section.
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 62.
