Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with an AT-8300 Series stack
by connecting a terminal or a PC with a terminal emulator program to
the RS-232 Terminal port on the Master switch of the stack, using a
straight-through RS-232 cable. This type of management interface is
referred to as “local” because you must be physically close to the stack,
such as in the wiring closet where the stack is located.
Once the session is started, you will see a menu from which you could
make selections to configure and monitor the stack. You can configure
all of the switches in a stack from a local management session.
Note
For instructions on starting a local management interface, refer to
Starting a Local Management Interface on page 35.
