Chapter 2: Starting a Command Line Management Session
50 Section I: Basic Operations
Starting a Local Management Session
Note
A stack does not need an IP address for local management.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Identify the master switch of the stack. (Local management sessions
must be conducted through the master switch.) If you followed the
instructions in the AT-9400 Stack Installation Guide, the switches
should have labels with their module ID numbers. The switch labelled
module ID 1 is the master switch of the stack.
If the switches are not labeled, examine the Stack MSTR LED on the
units. The LED will be steady green on the master switch. (Do not
confuse the Stack MSTR LED and the Status Master LED. The latter
relates to enhanced stacking, a feature not supported in a stack.)
2. Connect one end of the RJ-45 to RS-232 management cable included
with the switch to the Terminal Port on the front panel of the master
switch, as shown in Figure 7.

Port
3. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
PC with a terminal emulator program.
4. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program as follows:
ˆ Baud rate: 9600 bps (The baud rate of the Terminal Port is
adjustable from 9600 to 115200 bps. The default is 9600 bps. To
change the baud rate, refer to “SET ASYN” on page 82.)
