1-2 Overview
In addition, this hub supports a multi-segment bus architecture
that enhances traffic management and network bandwidth
utilization. With an SNMP agent, this unit not only functions
as an intelligent hub, but can also monitor up to 10 intelligent
hubs connected to it (including itself) through the FlexBus 1500
port connection. The EtherHub-16mi
+
conforms to both the
IEEE 802.3 repeater specification and the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
This hub supports both in-band and out-of-band management.
For in-band management, it uses Accton’s optional Network
Management Software, called AccView/Open (not included
with this package) to monitor and control a stacked system. For
out-of-band management, the device’s RS232 port can be
connected to a PC and managed using Accton’s EtherHub 1500
System Configuration Program. Any computer (i.e., XT, AT)
with a COM1~4 RS232 port, at least 640 KB on-board memory,
and a monochrome, EGA or VGA display can be used.
The Etherhub-16mi
+
can be configured as a stand-alone system
to form a simple LAN networking 2 to 16 computers using the
RJ-45 ports. Or it can be connected to other hubs using the
FlexBus 1500 port connection. Further network expansion can
be achieved using the BNC, AUI or fiber-optic trunk port
connection (optional ALT PORT), or the RJ-45 daisy-chain
port. Workstations are connected to the EtherHub-16mi
+
station ports using shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable.
