AT-S63 Management Software
The AT-9400 Switch is managed with the AT-S63 Management Software. 
The software comes preinstalled on the unit with default settings for all the 
operating parameters of the switch. If the default settings are adequate for 
your network, you can use the switch as an unmanaged unit.
Note
You can access the management software on the switch several different 
ways. You can manage the switch locally (out-of-band) using the Terminal 
Port on the front panel or over a network (in-band) using a Telnet or 
Secure Shell client, or a web browser. For further information, refer to 
“Management Access Methods” on page 41.
The management software has three management interfaces -- a menus 
interface, a command line interface, and a web browser interface. You can 
use any of the interfaces to perform basic configuration procedures. But 
some of the newer and more complex features, such as Virtual Router 
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), must be configured with the command line 
interface. For more information, refer to “Management Interfaces and 
Features” on page 36.
There are two current versions of the management software, Version 2.2.0 
and Version 3.0.0. Version 2.2.0 is for the Layer 2+ switches:
ˆ
AT-9408LC/SP
