Connecting the Switch

AT-8948, x900-48FE, AT-9924Ts, and x900-24X switches can be configured with
the Command Line Interface (CLI). AT-9900 switches can be configured with
either the CLI or the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Before configuring the switch, you must make some basic connections explained
in the following procedure. Before starting the procedure, ensure that the
switch has at least one power supply unit installed and operating. The other bay
must have another PSU or fan-only module in it, or a blanking plate over it,
depending on the switch model.

Using the CLI to configure a switch

1.

Physically connect the terminal or PC to the ASYN0 port on the front
panel of the switch.

For AT-8948, AT-9924Ts, AT-9900, and x900 switches, use the RJ-45 DB9
cable that is supplied.

2.

Set communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to the following:

• bit rate: 9600

• data bits: 8

• parity: None

• stop bits: 1

• flow control: Hardware

For information about terminal emulation, see Using Windows Terminal and
HyperTerminal
in the Hardware Reference.

3.

Check the power supply.

For AC models, ensure that the switch is receiving power (PWR LED is lit
green).

For DC models, ensure that the Run/Standby switch is in the On or Run
position and that the switch is receiving power (PWR LED is lit green).

4.

Log in.

After the switch has booted, the login prompt is displayed. If not, press the
Enter key two or three times.
