Chapter 3 — AsantéBridge 1012 Local Management
All AsantéBridge 1012 functions can be configured using a VT100
terminal (or a Macintosh or PC running VT100 terminal emulation
software). All necessary commands and functions are stored in
bridge memory — no special software is required other than the
terminal emulator if you are using a Mac or a PC.
This section presents each bridge local management menu screen
and provides definitions for each field on the screen. Also
included are simple procedures for selecting and modifying
bridge parameters where appropriate.
❖ Note: Detailed descriptions of bridge functions are not
provided. It is assumed that you have some knowledge
of how transparent learning bridges work, including
spanning tree configurations.
❖
After the bridge power-on diagnostics are completed, the main
local management menu displays.
