Starting a Local Management Session
The procedure in this section explains how to start a local (out-of-band)
management session using the RJ-45 terminal port on the switch. You can
use a local management session to configure the switch’s operating
parameters and view performance and error statistics.
Note
If your network already has an enhanced stack of Allied Telesis
Layer 2 or Layer 2+ switches, you might be able to initially manage
the new switch by connecting, locally or remotely, to the master
switch of the stack and changing to the new switch through the
management software. For overview information on enhanced
stacking, refer to the AT-S63 Management Software Features
Guide.
To start a local management session, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the RJ-45 end of the management cable included with the
AT-9400 Switch to the Terminal Port on the front panel of the switch,
as shown in Figure 29.
Figure 29. Connecting the Management Cable to the RJ-45 Terminal Port

2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RS-232 port on a terminal or
a personal computer with a terminal emulation program.
3. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program as follows:
ˆ Baud rate: Default is 9600 bps (Range is 9600 to 115200 bps)
ˆ Data bits: 8
ˆ Parity: None
