Product Description

Management
Software and
Omega
Management
Interface
22
Included with the switch is the AT-S26 management software. You use
this pre-installed software to manage the switch's operating parameters,
view port and switch status information, and monitor performance
statistics.
Included with the management software is the Omega management
interface. This interface consists of a series of menus and prompts that
make it easy for you to configure the switch and view performance and
status information. Instructions on how to use the AT-S26 management
software and the Omega management interface are in the AT-S26
Management Software User's Guide, available from the Allied Telesyn
web site.
There are four different ways that you can manage an AT-9006 Series
Switch using the AT-S26 software and the Omega management
interface. They are:
# Local (RS232 Port) Management Session
# Web-based Management Session
# Telnet Management Session
# SNMP Management Session
Each method is briefly described below.
Local (RS232 Port) Management Session
The RS232 port on the front panel of the switch is used to establish a
local management session with the unit. You can connect a terminal or a
personal computer with a terminal emulation program to the port and
access the Omega management interface.
Web-based Management Session
You can also start a management session from one of the workstations
on your network using a web browser, like Netscape Navigator. All you
do is enter the IP address of the switch in the URL field of the browser
and the Omega management interface for the switch is displayed in the
browser window.
Telnet Management Session
If a workstation on your network has the Telnet utility, you can use the
utility to access the Omega management interface on an AT-9006 Series
Switch. Starting a Telnet management session involves specifying either
the IP address or MAC address of the switch with Telnet.
