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
