AT-9800 Series Switch  
Selecting a Site  
The switch can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on a level surface such  
as a desktop or bench. When installing the switch, choose a site that:  
Allows adequate airflow around the switch and its vents.  
Is free of dust and moisture.  
Will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0-50º C (32-122º F) and a  
humidity range of 5-95% non-condensing.  
Has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply circuit, preferably  
dedicated and filtered.  
Does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radio  
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and  
fluorescent fixtures.  
Allows easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.  
Will allow all related network devices to be connected to the switch  
without exceeding maximum cable length limitations. See the AT-8800  
Series Hardware Reference for cable length specifications.  
Installing the Switch  
This equipment must be earthed.  
Follow these steps to install the switch:  
1. Read the safety information  
For safety information, see the Safety and Statutory Information booklet. A  
copy of this booklet is supplied with each switch, and can also be found on  
the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM or at www.alliedtelesis.com/support/  
2. Gather the tools and equipment you will need  
If the switch is to be connected to a redundant power supply, you will need  
a redundant power supply unit and cable (see step 8).  
To install the switch in a rack you will need screws and cage nuts to attach  
the brackets to your rack. These are supplied with the switch.  
3. Choose a suitable site for the switch  
Either a flat surface or 19 inch rack.  
4. Unpack the switch  
Verify the package contents. If any items are damaged or missing, contact  
your sales representative.

5. Place the switch in its operating location  
If installing the switch in a rack:  
Remove the rubber feet  
Attach the rack-mounting brackets.  
Use the screws provided with the switch to mount it in a rack. Other screws  
may damage the switch.  
Mount the switch in the rack  
6. Apply AC power to the switch  
Plug the power cord into the AC power connector on the switch’s rear  
panel, as shown in Figure 1. The FAULT LED may light for one or two  
seconds as the switch runs internal tests. If the LED remains lit, refer to the  
AT-8800 Series Hardware Reference for troubleshooting information.

7. Fit the power cord retaining clip.  
A retaining clip is supplied with the switch for the AC power inlet on the  
switch’s rear panel. Fit this clip to secure the power cord in place.  
8. Check that the Power LED on the switch’s front panel lights green  
If the PWR LED fails to light, refer to the AT-8800 Series Hardware Reference  
for troubleshooting information.  
9. Connect the Redundant Power Supply (Optional)  
AT-8800 Series switches have a Redundant Power Supply (RPS) connector  
on their rear panel.  
The Switch is designed to operate with the AT-RPS8000 RPS, which can be  
purchased separately. See the AT-8800 Series Hardware Reference or contact  
your authorised Allied Telesis distributer or reseller for more information.  
10. Install GBICs (Optional)  
Slide the GBICs into the GBIC slots. Press each GBIC firmly into place.  
A range of GBICs have been tested and approved for use with AT-8800 Series switches.  
See the AT-8800 Series Hardware Reference or contact your authorised Allied Telesis  
distributor or reseller for more information, or visit www.alliedtelesis.com/support/

RX and TX terminal locations on SC fibre GBIC ports are the reverse of RX and TX  
terminal locations on fixed SC fibre ports. When looking at an SC fibre GBIC from the  
front, the RX terminal is on the left and the TX terminal is on the right.  
11. Connect the data cables  
Make sure each cable connection is secure. The switch will now perform  
basic Layer 2 switching functions.  
Configuring the Switch  
Some configuration is necessary if you wish to enable the switch’s advanced  
switching capabilities. The switch can be configured via the Command Line  
Interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI).  
Using the CLI to configure a switch  
1. Connect a terminal or PC to ASYN0 (RS-232)  
Using the supplied RJ-45 to DB9F cable, connect your terminal or PC to the  
ASYN0 port on the switch’s front panel.  
2. Set the communication parameters  
Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation  
program to:  
Baud rate: 9600  
Data bits: 8  
Parity: None  
Stop bits: 1  
Flow control: Hardware  
3. Check the power supply  
Ensure that the On/Off switch is in the On position and that the switch is  
receiving power (PWR LED lights green).  
4. Log in  
After the switch has booted, the log in prompt appears. If the log in prompt  
doesn’t appear, press [Enter] two or three times.  
When the switch boots for the first time it automatically creates an account  
with manager privileges. The account has the log in name “manager” and  
the password is “friend”.  
At the log in prompt, enter the log in name and password.  
Login: manager  
Password: friend  
The switch’s command prompt appears and you can now configure the  
switch using the command line interface.  
Change the password as soon as possible. Leaving the manager account with  
the default password is a serious security risk. Make sure you remember the  
new password as there is no way to retrieve it if it is lost.

Use the following command to change the account password:  
set password  
Use the following commands to save the configuration with the newly  
created password and set the switch to use it on bootup:  
create config=your-name.cfg  
set config=your-name.cfg  
To display a list of help topics, enter:  
help  
To display help on a specific topic, enter:  
help topic  
Alternatively, type a question mark (?) at the end of a partially completed  
command to see a list of valid options.  
See the AT-8800 Series Software Reference for more information on configuring  
the switch.  
Using the GUI to configure a switch:  
This section describes how to establish a connection to the switch through the  
GUI, so you can configure the switch before installing it in your LAN. For more  
information about the GUI, see the Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI)  
chapter of the AT-8800 Series Software Reference.  
1. Select a PC to browse to the switch from  
You can browse to the switch from any PC that is running a supported  
operating system with a supported browser installed. JavaScript must be  
enabled. If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block  
pop-ups, disable it while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed  
configuration options and information in pop-up windows.  
You need to know the PC’s subnet.  
2. Connect the PC to the switch  
Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet card on the PC to any one of  
the switch’s switch ports.  
You can browse to the switch through any VLAN, as long as you give that interface an  
IP address (see below). The recommended LAN interface is vlan1, and these instructions  
assume you will use vlan1 as the LAN interface. The switch’s ports all belong to vlan1  
by default.  
3. Access the switch’s command line interface  
Access the CLI from the PC, as described in the previous “Using the CLI to  
configure a switch” section.  
4. Enable IP  
enable ip  
5. Assign the vlan1 interface an unused IP address in the same subnet as the PC  
add ip interface=vlan1 ip=ipaddress mask=mask

6. Save the configuration and set the switch to use it on bootup  
create config=your-name.cfg  
set config=your-name.cfg  
7. On the PC’s web browser, bypass the HTTP proxy server, if necessary  
8. Point your web browser at vlan1’s IP address  
9. At the login prompt, enter the user name and password  
The default username is manager:  
User Name: manager  
Password: friend  
The System Status page is displayed. Select options from the sidebar menu  
to configure and manage the switch.  
For context-sensitive online help, click on the Help button at the top of the  
sidebar menu or on any pop-up page.
