Overview

The AT-S39 management software is intended for the AT-8000 Series
Fast Ethernet Switches. The software is used to monitor and adjust a
switch’s operating parameters. Some of the functions you can perform
with the software include:

❑ Enable and disable ports

❑ Configure port parameters, such as port speed and duplex mode

❑ Create virtual LANs (VLANs)

❑ Create port trunks and port mirrors

❑ Assign an Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask

❑ Activate and configure a spanning tree protocol

❑ Activate enhanced stacking functions

❑ Configure Class of Service (COS)

❑ Enable and configure IGMP snooping

❑ Enable and configure broadcast storm control

❑ Download and upload image and configuration files

❑ Configure port security

❑ Enable port access control

The AT-S39 management software comes pre-installed on the switch
with default settings for all operating parameters. If the default settings
are adequate for your network, you can use the switch as an unmanaged
switch simply by connecting the unit to your network, as explained in
the hardware installation guide, and powering ON the device.
