AT-S39
Management
Software
The AT-8024 and AT-8024GB Fast Ethernet Switches come with the
AT-S39 management software pre-installed. This management software
comes with default values for all the operating parameters for a switch.
In some network environments, the default settings might not need to
be changed, allowing you to use the switch as an unmanaged switch.
If you want to manage the switch and change or monitor the operating
parameters, you must access the AT-S39 management software. Some
of the functions that you can do with the management software include
assigning the switch an IP address and subnet mask, creating VLANs and
port trunks, and activating and configuring the Spanning Tree Protocol
parameters.
The management software’s interface consists of menus and prompts
that make it easy for you to configure the switch and view performance
and status information.
You can access the switch’s management software four ways:
G
RS-232 Terminal Port
G
Web Browser
G
Telnet Application Protocol
G
SNMP management program
