Local Management Connection

To establish a local management connection with an AT-GS950/16 or 
AT-GS950/24 Smart Switch, you connect a terminal or a PC with a 
terminal emulator program to the terminal port on the front of the switch 
using the management cable included with the unit. This type of 
connection is referred to as “local” because you must be physically close 
to the switch, such as in the wiring closet where the switch is located.

Note

For instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to 
“Starting a Local Management Session” on page 24.

A switch does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for you to 
manage it locally. You can start a local management session on a switch 
at any time. It does not interfere with the forwarding of network packets by 
the device.
