Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with an AT-8350GB Fast
Ethernet switch by connecting either a terminal or a PC with a terminal
emulator program to the RS232 terminal port on the front panel of the
master switch, using a null-modem cable. This type of management
session is referred to as “local” because you must be physically close to
the switch, such as in the wiring closet where the switch is located.
Once the session is started, you will see a menu from which you can
make selections to configure and monitor the switch. You can configure
all of the switch’s operating parameters from a local management
session.
Note
For instructions on starting a local management session, refer to
Starting a Local Management Session on page 29.
