Section I: Overview

The AT-S39 management software comes pre-installed on the switch
with default settings for all operating parameters. If the default settings
are adequate for your network, you can use the switch as an unmanaged
switch simply by connecting the unit to your network, as explained in
the hardware installation guide, and powering ON the device.
Note
The default settings for the management software can be found in
Appendix A, AT-S39 Default Settings on page 312.
To actively manage a switch, such as to change or adjust the operating
parameters, you must access the switch’s AT-S39 management software.
The AT-S39 software has a menu interface that makes it very easy to use,
and a special interface for managing a switch with a web browser.
There are four different ways to access the management software on an
AT-8000 Series switch. In this guide, these methods are referred to as
management sessions. They are:
❑ Local Management Session
❑ Telnet Management Session
❑ Web Browser Management Session
❑ SNMP Management Session
The following sections in this chapter briefly describe each type of
management session.
