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:

QOut-of-band onsite connection - The workstation, normally within the vicinity of the hub, is directly connected to the serial port on the hub.

QOut-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.
