Preface

This guide contains instructions on how to configure an AT-8400 Series
Switch using the AT-S60 management software. Within this manual, the
AT-8400 Series Switch is often abbreviated to switch.

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-S60 management software on a switch. In
addition, it describes how to specify ports.

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.

To establish a local management session, connect a terminal or PC to the
RS-232 Terminal Port on the front of the switch.

To establish a Telnet management session, use the Telnet application
protocol. This type of management session can be performed from any
workstation on your network.
