Management software

The switches are shipped with the management software pre-installed. 
The software provides a command line interface and a GUI (Graphical 
User Interface) for in-band, over-the-network management. 

For information about how to manage the switch, refer to the product 
documentation on the product series web page, at

 

www.alliedtelesis.com/products/switches/x230-series

. The product 

documentation includes:

this Installation Guide,

a detailed Command Reference, and 

Feature Overview and Configuration Guides for each supported 
feature.

In the unlikely event that the management software becomes corrupted or 
damaged on the switch, you can download the software from the Allied 
Telesis corporate web site and reinstall it on the switch. For instructions on 
how to install new management software, see the product documentation.
