Overview

The AT-S25 management software is intended for an AT-8300 Series
stack of AT-8316F and AT-8324 Fast Ethernet Switches. The software is
used to monitor and adjust a stack’s operating parameters. Functions
that you could 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 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

❑ Configure port security

❑ Configure IGMP Snooping

❑ Configure and View MAC Addresses

❑ Configure Class of Service

❑ File Uploads and Downloads

The AT-S25 management software comes pre-installed on the AT-8300
Series switch with default settings for all operating parameters. If the
default settings are adequate for your network, you could use the switch
or stack as an unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch simply by connecting the
units to your network, as explained in the hardware installation guide,
and powering ON the devices.
