Local Management Session
You can 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, a menu is displayed and 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 30.
