RS-232 Terminal Port
The RS-232 terminal port on the AT-8000 Series Switch is described
below.
The RS-232 Terminal Port is used to establish a local (out-of-band)
management session with the switch and to configure the switch’s
operating parameters. To establish a local management session, you
connect either a terminal or a personal computer with a terminal
emulation program to the port.
Note
You are not required to manage the AT-8000 Series 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 AT-S39
Management Software User’s Guide.
The RS-232 Terminal Port has a DB-9 female connector and uses a
straight-through RS-232 cable (not provided). The default settings for
the RS-232 Terminal Port are:
Baud rate: Auto-detect
(range 1200 to 115200 bps; default 9600 bps)
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Note
These default settings are for a DEC VT100 or ANSI terminal, or an
equivalent terminal emulation program.
