Setup and Configuration
Preparing for Configuration
Management
There are two methods for configuring the Compaq HB1004 - using the out-of-
band program or using in-band network management software (not supplied).
The diskette included with the Compaq HB1004 contains the menu-driven
Compaq HB1004 System Configuration Program. To use this program, make a
direct PC or modem connection to the serial port on the front of the hub.
Out-of-Band Connection
Out-of-band configuration requires a computer as your workstation. There are
two valid connection types to the hub:
Q
Out-of-band onsite connection - The workstation, normally within the
vicinity of the hub, is directly connected to the serial port on the hub.
Q
Out-of-band modem connection - The workstation is connected to the
remote hub via a modem.
Onsite Connection
Attach a PC to the serial port on the hub. Use the communication cable (and
DB9 to RJ-45 converters) provided with this package. Configure the PC’s
serial port for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and one stop bit (9600, 8, N, 1). See
Figure 3-1.
NOTE
: Some PCs may have a 25 pin serial port. For these PCs use the DB25 to
RJ-45 converter supplied with the hub instead of the DB9 to RJ-45 converter
mentioned above to connect the PC.
