Installing the Switch
10
Caution
If you intend to use a redundant power supply (RPS) with the
switch, check to be sure that the cable with the RPS unit is
compatible with the RPS Input Port on the switch. The pin
assignments for the port are listed in the section “R.P.S. Input
Connector Specifications” on page 13.
11. Connect the data cables, making sure each connection has a good valid link
and that the switch is receiving packets.
12. Go to the next procedure, “Setting Up for Local Management,” to access the
Omega management software on the switch.
Setting Up for Local Management
If you are installing the switch in a TCP/IP environment or if you intend to
manage the switch from a remote site, you must first assign an IP address to
the switch using the Omega management software, which comes pre-installed
on the switch. To connect a terminal to the switch and start an Omega
management session, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a terminal to the RS232 connector on the front panel of the switch.
Use an RS232, DB-9 straight-through cable. If the switch is a part of a
stack, you must connect the terminal to the RS232 port on the master
switch.
2. Access your terminal emulation program (for example, VT100).
3. Set your terminal emulator to the following:
" Baud rate: 9600
" Data bits: 8
" Parity: None
" Stop bits: 1
" Flow control: None
4. Press Return.
The switch displays the Omega main menu.
