Starting a Local Management Session
This procedure requires a terminal or a terminal emulator program and an RJ-45 management cable. To start
a local management session on the switch, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the management cable to the console port on the front panel of the
switch.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator
program.
3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows:
 Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the console port is adjustable from 1200 to
115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps.)
Note
The BootLoader can only be managed at 9600 bps. If you set the baud rate to 115200 bps the
BootLoader will not work.
 Data bits: 8
 Parity: None
 Stop bits: 1
 Flow control: None
Note
The port settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulator program.
4. Press Enter. You are prompted for a username and password.
5. Enter the username and password to log on the switch. If this is the initial management session of the
switch, enter “manager” as the user name “friend” as the password. The user name and password are
case sensitive.
The local management session starts when the AlliedWare Plus™ command line prompt is displayed.
