Getting Started
This chapter describes how to get started with a Cajun M770 ATM Switch. This
includes an overview of the management and configuration tasks that you should
perform soon after installation.
Powering up the Cajun M770 ATM Switch
During the system startup of a Cajun M770 ATM Switch, the switch automatically
performs a number of self-tests on its internal hardware.
The startup process is documented in each module’s Installation Guide which
includes information about the self-tests that are carried out and how the LED
indicators on the switch indicate the status of the self-tests.
If any non-critical hardware self-test fails then the Boot Loader will be entered.
From the Boot Loader you may be able to diagnose and remedy the problem. For
more information on how to use the Boot Loader, see Appendix B Using BOOT
Loader.
If the M770 ATM Switch passes all the self-tests, it will load the main image from
flash memory and you can manage the M770 ATM Switch.
Managing a Cajun M770 ATM Switch
The M770 ATM Switch can be configured and managed using the following
management methods:
• Management from a local or remote console using the command-line interface.
• Management from a network management station using SNMP and the
Cajun M770 Manager which is an easy-to-use, graphical management
application.
Management from a local or remote console
You can manage the M770 ATM Switch using the following methods:
• Out-of-band console management by means of a VT100-compatible terminal
connected to the serial port (labelled Console) of the M770 ATM module.
• Remote console management using a terminal using Telnet over TCP/IP
• Out-of-band console management using a VT100-compatible terminal
connected to the serial port (labelled Console) of the M-SPV/M-SPX/M-SPS
Supervisor module.
For information about connecting a terminal device to the serial interfaces, refer to
each module’s
Installation Guide .
