Setting Up A Terminal For Local Management - Allied Telesis AT-8316F/MT Installation Manual

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. This is accomplished by
connecting a terminal (such as a VT100 terminal) or a PC with a
terminal emulation program to the RS232 port on the master switch,
as explained in the following steps:
1. Using an RS232, DB-9 straight-through cable, connect a terminal
or a PC with a terminal emulation program to the RS232
connector on the front panel of the master switch.
Note
Only the RS232 port on the master switch of a stack is active. The
RS232 ports on the slave switches are inactive and cannot be used
to manage a stack.
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 interface
to configure the switch. For instructions, refer to the AT-S25
Management Software User's Guide. This guide is available
