Starting A Local Omega Management Session - Allied Telesis AT-9006T Installation Manual

Starting a Local Omega Management Session

This procedure explains how to establish a local Omega management
session with the switch. You must establish a local management session
if you have just installed the switch in a TCP/IP environment. You must
assign the switch an IP address and subnet mask or configure the switch
to obtain its IP parameters from a BOOPT or DHCP server. The switch will
not function in a TCP/IP network until the IP parameters have been
configured on the unit. Once the switch has been assigned an IP address
and subnet mask, you can manage the switch using a Telnet utility, a
web browser, or an SNMP management program.
To connect a terminal to the switch and start a local Omega
management session, perform the following steps:
1. Using the RS232, DB-9 straight-through management cable included
with the switch, connect a terminal or a personal computer with a
terminal emulator program to the RS232 connector on the front
panel of the switch.
2. Set 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
Note
The default settings for the Omega's terminal interface are for a
DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation
program.
3. Press Return.
The switch displays the Omega main menu.
You are now ready to use the Omega interface to configure the
switch. For instructions, refer to the AT-S26 Management
Software User's Guide. This guide is available from the Allied
Telesyn web site at www.alliedtelesyn.com.
