Ethernet Administration
Accessing Omega
To start a session with the management agent, either:
1.
Press the
<RETURN>
key twice on a PC connected to the RS232 port, or
2.
If your switch has been assigned an IP address, use Telnet to access the
management agent.
A session begins when either of the above events occur. Once in session, the
management agent and the Statistical Database program are “locked” against
other session requests. This prevents unwanted simultaneous access to the
database.
If you have configured a password, the management agent will require it at
the beginning of the session. If you have misplaced the password, you can
unlock the management agent by inserting the optional AT-S13 PCMCIA
card into the PCMCIA port on the AT-4016TR or AT-4016F or by inserting
the optional AT-S16 Firmware Cassette into the appropriate port on the
AT-TS95TR.
Selecting Menu
Options
When in session, the management agent offers a series of menus. You may
select from a variety of options to view statistics or control hub activities.
❑
If the options are numbered, type the appropriate number and press
the
<RETURN>
key.
❑
If the options are not numbered, type enough of the option name to
distinguish it from the other options (usually only the first letter).
That is, type the letter(s) which are capitalized; e.g.,
P
(for
P
ort Status)
or
F
(for
Frame
statistics).
Except for
Q
uit, choosing a menu usually leads to a submenu which, in turn,
usually leads to yet another submenu.
You can make a choice from the present menu or return to the previous menu
by pressing
<RETURN>
or
<ESC>
.
