Make sure each cable connection is secure. The switch will now perform

basic Layer 2 switching functions.

Configuring the Switch

Some configuration is necessary if you wish to enable the switch’s advanced

switching capabilities. The switch can be configured via the Command Line

Interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Using the CLI to configure a switch

1. Connect a terminal or PC to RS-232 (ASYN0)

Using the supplied RS-232 DB9 straight-through cable, connect your

terminal or PC to the RS-232 Terminal Port on the switch’s front panel.

2. Set the communication parameters

Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation

program to:

• Baud rate: 9600

• Data bits: 8

•Parity:None

•Stopbits:1

• Flow control: Hardware

3. Check the power supply

Ensure that the On/Off switch (AC models) or Run/Standby switch (DC

models) is in the On or Run position and that the switch is receiving power

(Power LED lights green).

4. Log in

After the switch has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log in prompt

doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.

When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an account

with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and

the password is “friend”.

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.

Password: friend

The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the

switch using the command line interface.

Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with

the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the

new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:

set password

Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed

command to see a list of valid options.

See the AT-9800 Series Software Reference for more information on

configuring the switch.

Using the GUI to configure a switch

The GUI can be accessed through the switch’s default VLAN (VLAN1). To

set-up the GUI the first time it is used, you must first access the CLI.

1. Access the CLI

Follow the instructions in the previous “Using the CLI to configure a

switch” section.

2. Enable IP

At the CLI, enter the command:

ENABLE IP

3. Assign an IP address to VLAN1

Assign the VLAN1 interface an IP address in the required subnet, using the

command:

ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan1 IP=ipaddress MASK=mask

4. Define a route (if required)

If the PC from which you will access the GUI is on a different subnet to the

switch, add a route from the PC to the switch. Enter:

ADD IP ROUTE=PC-ipaddress INTERFACE=vlan1

NEXTHOP=switch-ipaddress

5. Connect the PC to a switch port

The PC can be connected directly, or through a LAN.

The PC should be running Internet Explorer 5.xor Netscape 6.2.2, with

JavaScript enabled. A copy of Internet Explorer can be found on the

Documentation and Tools CD-ROM that is bundled with your switch.

If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to

bypass the proxy for the IP address you just assigned to the VLAN1

interface.

Point your web browser at the IP address of the VLAN interface.

6. Log in

At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.

User Name: manager

Password: friend

The system status page appears and you can now use the GUI to configure

the switch.

To ensure configuration settings are saved correctly, use the GUI pages’ menus and

buttons to navigate, not your browser’s buttons.

As a security precaution, change the password as soon as possible.

To change the password, select Management > Users from the sidebar

menu. Select the Manager account and click Modify.
