Starting a Local Omega Session Using the RS232 Port
This section contains the procedure for starting a local Omega session by
connecting a terminal to the RS232 port on the switch.
Note
If you are managing the switch in a TCP/IP environment and you are
configuring the IP parameters for the first time, you must access the
Omega program locally using this procedure and either manually
assign the switch an IP address and a subnet mask or activate the
dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) option so that the
switch is automatically assigned an IP address from a DHCP or
BOOTP server.
To start a local Omega session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect a terminal or PC to the RS232 port on the switch.
2. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program as follows:
❑ Baud rate: 9600
❑ Data bits: 8
❑ Parity: None
❑ Stop bits: 1
❑ Flow control: None
Note
The default settings for the Omega’s terminal interface are for a DEC
VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation
program. Once you have started an Omega session, you can change
these values. For instructions, refer to the section Configuring the
RS232 Port on page 57.
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. For instructions, refer to Chapter 7, Configuring the
Omega Interface.
The Omega Main Menu is displayed. Refer to the next section for a
description of the menu.
