Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with the AT-LX3800U chassis
when you use the management cable included with the chassis to connect
a terminal or PC with a terminal emulation program to the RS-232 port on
the chassis. The RS-232 port is located on the front panel of the
AT-LX3800U chassis and has a DIN-8 style connector.
This type of management session is referred to as “local” because you
must be physically close to the chassis, such as in the wiring closet where
the chassis is located.
After the session starts, the menus are displayed from which you can
make selections to configure and manage the chassis. You can configure
all of the chassis operating parameters from a local management session.
A chassis does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for you to
manage it locally. You can start a local management session on the
chassis at any time and not interfere with the chassis operations.
