Setting Up 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 software, which comes pre-installed
on the switch. To connect a terminal to the switch and start an Omega
management session, perform the following steps:
1.
Connect a terminal to the RS232 connector on the front panel of the switch.
Use an RS232, DB-9 straight-through cable.
2.
Access your terminal emulation program, that is, VT100.
3.
Set your terminal emulator to the following:
"
Baud rate: 9600
"
Data bits: 8
"
Parity: None
"
Stop bits: 1
"
Flow control: None
Press Return.
4.
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-S24 Management Software
User's Guide. This guide is available on the Allied Telesyn web site at
