This primer offers suggestion on installing ForeRunner ATM switches and hosts with ForeRunner ATM Adapters to the aTm ATM testbed.
Initial configuration is by connecting a tty-type device to the switch's serial port.
The Serial port on the switch is typically 9-port female. The switch's tty port comes configured at 9600 baud, 8bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. Once serial cable is connected, you should see a login prompt at the console. You may need to use a null-modem if just connecting a serial cable does not bring up the login prompt. This is the root login.
