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 assign the switch
an IP address and, if necessary, a gateway address and a subnet
mask.
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 switch.
2. Configure the terminal or terminal emulator program as follows:
❑ Baud rate: 9600
❑ Data bits: 8
❑ Stop bits: 1
❑ Parity: None
❑ Flow control: None
❑ Emulator: VT100
Note
The default settings for the switch’s RS232 port as listed above are
for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal
emulator program. Once you have started an Omega session, you
can change these values, as explained in Chapter 2, Managing a
Switch.
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.
