How This Guide is Organized

This manual is divided into three sections.

8350GB switch.

Section II: Local and Telnet Management

A local management session is established by connecting a terminal or
PC to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the front panel of the switch.

A Telnet management session is established using the Telnet application
protocol. This type of management session can be performed from any
workstation on your network that has the application protocol.

browser, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator.
