Chapter 1 Getting Started The AT-S65 management software for the AT-LX3800U Multi-Service Transport System allows you to monitor and manage the chassis and the components installed in it.
Chapter 1: Getting Started Local Management Session You establish a local management session with the AT-LX3800U chassis when you use the management cable included with the chassis to connect a terminal or PC with a terminal emulation program to the RS-232 port on the chassis. The RS-232 port is located on the front panel of the AT-LX3800U chassis and has a DIN-8 style connector.
AT-S65 Management Software User’s Guide Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None Note These settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an equivalent terminal emulation program. The software initializes. 4. Press Return. The Login prompt is displayed. 5. To configure chassis settings, enter “manager” as the user name. To only view the settings, enter “operator” as the user name. The Password prompt is displayed. 6.
Chapter 1: Getting Started Note The AT-S65 management software supports only one management session at a time. Therefore, it is important to always quit a management session when you are finished managing the chassis. Otherwise, you might block future management sessions or software downloads. You can configure a timeout value so that the chassis automatically disconnects a management session after a defined period of inactivity. The default timeout is 5 minutes.
AT-S65 Management Software User’s Guide Remote Management Session You can use the Telnet application from any workstation on your network to manage an AT-LX3800U system. This type of management session is referred to as remote management because you do not need to be physically close to the chassis to start the session. A remote management session allows you to access the same menus and options that you can access with a local management session.
Chapter 1: Getting Started The Password prompt is displayed. 4. To configure chassis settings, enter “friend” as the password for a manager login. To only view the settings, enter “operator” as the password for the operator login. The Main Menu is displayed, as shown in Figure 2 on page 15. Refer to “Using the Menus Interface” on page 19 for information about how to move through the menus and make menu selections.
