How This Guide is Organized

This manual is divided into three sections.

Section I: Overview

This section contains just one chapter. It reviews the different ways that
you can access the AT-S39 management software on a switch.

Section II: Local and Telnet Management

The chapters in this section explain how to manage a switch from a local
management session or a Telnet management session.

A local management session is established by connecting a terminal or
PC to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the front panel of the switch.

A Telnet management session is established using the Telnet application
protocol. This type of management session can be performed from any
workstation on your network that has the application protocol.

Section III: Web Browser Management

The chapters in this section explain how to manage a switch using a web
browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator,
from a workstation on your network.
