Overview 1-3
EtherHub-16i
+
, a 16-port intelligent 10BASE-T hub. It includes -
• 16 RJ-45 STP station ports for networking computers to the
network using shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable
(STP or UTP).
• 1 optional port for installing an AUI, BNC or Fiber-Optic
module, which permits connection to thick or thin Ethernet
or 10BASE-F cable.
• 2 FlexBus 1500 ports for connecting to compatible hubs or
to the EtherHub-16mi
+
via a FlexBus 1500 cable.
• RJ-45 port 16 which can be converted to a daisy-chain port
(
) using the daisy-chain switch.
• Comprehensive LED indicators on the front panel to provide
easy and quick configuration and monitoring the unit.
As an intelligent hub, the EtherHub-16i
+
collects port statistics
and records events for system administration. When stacked with
other intelligent hubs through the FlexBus 1500 ports and
connected to an SNMP management device (e.g., EtherHub-
16mi
+
), you can monitor and control all attached hubs through
in-band and out-of-band communication.
The EtherHub-16i
+
can be used in a stand-alone configuration
to form a simple LAN networking 2 to 16 computers using the
RJ-45 ports. 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-16i
+
station ports using shielded or
unshielded twisted-pair.
AccView/Open (SW6102), a Windows-based network
management software package that analyzes and displays data
from the EtherHub-16mi
+
and transmits commands from the
user to the EtherHub-16mi
+
. AccView should be installed on
the network management station (i.e., any workstation used to
manage the network). If segmented architecture is used, the
network management station should be on the same segment as
