Starting a Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with the AT-8000/8POE switch
by connecting a terminal or personal computer with a terminal emulation
program to the RS-232 console port on the front panel of the switch.
Note
You do not need to assign an IP address to the switch to manage
the unit from a local management session.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect one end of the management cable included with the switch to
the console port on the AT-8000/8POE switch, as shown in Figure 1.

 Baud per second: 9600
 Data bits: 8
 Stop bits: 1
 Flow control: None

These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulation program. You cannot change this.
