Plug a serial terminal into port 1, configured for 9600 bps, N81. Hold
down the "TEST" button while powering the unit on, and it will enter
configuration mode on the terminal you plugged in.

Once initial configuration is performed, you can do port configurations
from the cli on any port, using the 'su' password you provided (defaults
to the IP address of the unit).

This is how it works on the microAnnex. The Annex 3 should be similar.
Xylogics used to provide PDFs of the manuals on their site. Then Bay
Networks provided them, and now I imagine Lucent still does.
