RS-232
Terminal Port
Figure 14 RS-232 Terminal Port
The RS-232 Terminal Port located on the back panel of the switch is used
to establish a local (out-of-band) management session with the switch.
Using the port, you can access the switch’s management software and
configure the switch’s operating parameters.
You establish a local management session by connecting either a VT100
terminal or a personal computer with a terminal emulation program to
the port.
Note
You are not required to manage an AT-8350GB Fast Ethernet
switch. The default switch settings may be sufficient for your
network, in which case you can use the unit as an unmanaged
switch. For the switch’s default settings, refer to Default Switch
Settings on page 91.
The RS-232 Terminal Port has a DB-9 female connector and uses a null
modem management cable.
The settings for the RS-232 Terminal Port are:
❑ Emulation mode: VT100
❑ Data rate: 9600
❑ Data bits: 8
❑ Parity: None
❑ Stop bits: 1
❑ Flow control: None
