Local Management Session
You establish a local management session with an AT-8000 Series switch
by connecting a terminal or a PC with a terminal emulator program to
the RS232 Terminal port on the front panel of the switch, using a
straight-through RS-232 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 a 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 28.
