Using the Agent
Module
(AT-FH805u)
To manage the hub (or stack), you must install an optional Agent Module,
AT-FH805u, in the lower slot on the front of the hub (See Figure 6). Once you have
installed the module, you will be able to manage the system via a direct connection
to the serial port on the front of the module (using a console or modem connection).
The management agent provided with this module can also be accessed over the
network using Telnet for a text-based interface, with a web browser for a graphic
interface, or using network management software based on SNMP/RMON
protocols from a management station anywhere in the network. See the
AT-FH812u and AT-FH824u User’s Guide
for further information.This guide can
be downloaded from Allied Telesyn’s website at

.
Note
The Agent Module is not hot-swappable. Be sure you power OFF the hub before
installing any of these modules.
Note
Do not install more than one Agent Module in a stack.

Using the Switch
Module
(AT-FH806u)
The 10 and 100 Mbps repeater buses in the hub can be linked together by
installing an optional switch module (AT-FH806u) in the upper slot on the front
panel (See Figure 7). The switch module is used when traffic must be passed to a
destination in the other segment, when broadcast traffic is sent, or when the
destination is unknown.
Note
AT-FH812u-SW and AT-FH824u-SW have the switching module already
installed.
Note
Multiple switch modules may be installed in a stack, but only one of the modules
will actively bridge the 10 and 100 Mbps repeater buses. The other modules will
be placed in standby mode, and will only be enabled if the primary switch module
should fail or is powered OFF.
