In-Band Connection

You can configure and manage the hub through the network (in-band) by using a network management application (not supplied). However, before you can access the hub with an in-band connection you must use an out-of-band connection and the Compaq HB1004 System Configuration Program to configure the hub’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

Starting the Configuration Program

To open the Compaq HB1004 System Configuration Program, do the following:

1.Determine which operating system you are using and follow the proper instructions to start the HB1004 System Configuration Program.

To start the Compaq HB1004 System Configuration Program from MS-DOS:

1.Insert the Compaq HB1004 Configuration Program diskette into the floppy disk drive

2.At the command prompt, type A:\HB1004CP for Drive A or

B:\HB1004CP for Drive B

3.Press ENTER and the program will start by opening the communication dialog box shown in Figure 3-3.

NOTE: The Compaq HB1004 System Configuration Program allows selection of COM Ports 1, 2, 3 or 4 and assumes the normal default IRQ for the appropriate port (i.e. COM1 is IRQ4, COM2 is IRQ3, COM3 is IRQ4 and COM4 is IRQ3). If your communication port is configured differently, it is necessary to specify the correct IRQ for that port. If this is the case, type:

A:\HB1004CP /i[irq#] or B:\HB1004CP /i[irq#]

at the command prompt.
