Fast EtherHub 3500 System User’s Guide
4-2 Configuring the System
• Remote connection - making a modem connection via the
hub’s serial port to the on-board menu-driven configuration
program; or using SLIP over TCP/IP from a remote site to
access the hub with optional network management software.
Direct Connection
The Fast EtherHub-12i does not
include a management agent.
Configuration options for this
model are therefore limited to
direct connection only.
Moreover, configuration via the
management port on this model
is limited to this hub only (i.e.,
the attached stack cannot be
managed with this model).
Attach a VT100 compatible terminal, or a PC running a
terminal emulation program, to the DB9 serial port on the front
of any Fast EtherHub 3500 model. Use a null modem connection
that complies with the wiring assignments provided in
Appendix B.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100,
specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 9600 bps.
Set flow control to “none,” and be sure the modem is configured
to generate Data Set Ready (DSR) signals.
F
The Fast EtherHub-12i can only be managed via a direct connection,
or via a Fast EtherHub-12mi unit located in the same stack.
Network Connection
To access the on-board management agent on the Fast
EtherHub-12mi, connect a PC to any available port on the
stacked system. If proper network interconnections are
available, you can access the management agent from anywhere
in the attached network. However, if the stack segments are not
interconnected, you must connect to the segment containing the
SNMP management agent.
