Figure 5 AT-8401 Management Card
You can use the management card and software to configure and
monitor the ports on the Ethernet line cards. For instance, you can use
the software to set port speeds, enable and disable ports, create virtual
LANs, configure port security, and so forth.
There are several different ways that you can manage an AT-8400 Series
switch. You can manage the unit locally through the RS-232 Terminal
Port on the management card. The RS-232 Terminal Port has a DB-9
female connector and uses a straight-through RS-232 cable (not
provided). You need to set the baud rate to 115,200. The default settings
for the RS-232 Terminal Port are:
❑ Baud Rate: 115,200 bps
❑ Data bits: 8
❑ Parity: None
❑ Stop bits: 1
❑ Flow control: None
