Starting A Local Management Session - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 GEN2 Installation Manual

Starting a Local Management Session

To start a local management session on the switch, perform the following
procedure. If the switch is powered off, start with step 1. If the switch is
already powered on, start with step 3:
Note
The initial management session has to be a local session because
the AlliedWare Plus operating software does not come with a default
IP address.
1. Power on the switch by doing one of the following:
 If the switch has an AC power supply, connect the AC power cord
to the power supply on the back panel and to an AC power source.
if the switch has two power supplies, you need to power on only
one of them for this procedure. Refer to "Powering On
SBxPWRSYS2 AC Power Supplies" on page 154.
 If the switch has the SBxPWRSYS1-80 DC Power Supply, power
on the DC circuit and the On/Off switch on the power supply. (If you
have not wired the DC connector on the power supply yet, refer to
Chapter 5, "Wiring the SBxPWRSYS1-80 DC Power Supply" on
page 119.)
2. Wait three minutes for the switch to initialize the management
software.
3. 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 99 on page 158.
