9600 and the AT command set is supported. Set the terminal
emulation type on the PC to VT100 and specify which PC COM
port is being used. Then, set communications to 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no parity and the baud rate to 9600 or 19200 bps. The
default rate is 9600 bps. Then, dial into the switch. Use a
terminal emulation package to connect over the modem.
In-Band Connections
Telnet
Telnet is a common terminal emulation application used in
TCP/IP networks for remote terminal access to computer
devices. Prior to accessing the switch in-band via Telnet or
optional in-band management software, it must first be
configured with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway. This must be done via an out-of-band connection.
Once the switch’s IP parameters are configured, the menu-
driven System Configuration Program may be accessed from
anywhere in the network. Telnet into the switch using its
assigned IP address.
SNMP Network Connection
You can access the TigerSwitch 100’s on-board SNMP agent
from any PC in the network that is running an SNMP-based
manager (i.e., SMC’s EliteView). However, prior to accessing
the switch this way, it must first be configured with a valid IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway and community string
using an out-of-band connection.
