only)
Accton provides a proprietary, user-friendly, menu driven out-
of-band program (EtherHub 1500 System Configuration
Program). This program allows you to configure the stack
using a PC directly attached to the RS232 port on the
management device (

or remotely, via a modem
connected to the RS232 port. With this program you can define
system parameters, manage and control stacked hubs and
associated ports, set threshold levels, and monitor network
conditions. The following table briefly describes the menu
selections available for this program.
