Local Management Session
To establish a local management session with an AT-8400 switch,
connect a terminal (or a PC) with a terminal emulator program to the
RS-232 Terminal port on the switch. This type of management session is
referred to as local because you must be physically close to the switch,
such as in the wiring closet where the switch is located.
Once the session is started, a menu is displayed from which you can
make selections to configure and monitor the switch. You can configure
all of a switch’s operating parameters from a local management session.
The first time you assign an IP address to a switch, you must use a local
connection.
