Starting a Local Omega Session
This section contains the procedure for starting a local Omega session.
This type of management session involves connecting a terminal to the
RS232 port on the master switch of the stack. To start a local Omega
session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect a terminal or PC with a terminal emulator program to the
RS232 port on the master switch.
The master switch is the switch assigned the Stack ID value of 1.
For information on Stack ID switch settings, refer to the
AT-8316F/MT, AT-8316F/VF, AT-8316F/SC, and AT-8324 Installation
Guide.
Note
Do not connect the terminal to the RS232 port on a slave switch. To
start a local management session on a stack, you must connect the
terminal to the RS232 port on the master switch.
2. Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows:
❑ Baud rate: 9600
❑ Data bits: 8
❑ Parity: None
❑ Stop bits: 1
❑ Flow control: None
Note
These are the default settings for the switch’s RS232 terminal
interface. The settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulator program. The Omega program allows
you to change these values. For instructions, refer to Configuring
the RS232 Port on the Master Switch on page 55 in Chapter 2.
3. Press the key.
4. If prompted for a password, enter the password for the Omega
interface.
The default is no password. You can later configure a password
(described in Creating an Omega Password on page 126 in
Chapter 7).
The Omega Main Menu is displayed.
