EtherHub 1500 System User’s Guide
EtherHub-16i+,a 16-port intelligent 10BASE-T hub. It includes -
∙16 RJ-45 STP station ports for networking computers to the network using shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable (STP or UTP).
∙1 optional port for installing an AUI, BNC or Fiber-Optic module, which permits connection to thick or thin Ethernet or 10BASE-F cable.
∙2 FlexBus 1500 ports for connecting to compatible hubs or to the EtherHub-16mi+via a FlexBus 1500 cable.
∙RJ-45 port 16 which can be converted to a daisy-chain port (
) using the daisy-chain switch.
∙Comprehensive LED indicators on the front panel to provide easy and quick configuration and monitoring the unit.
As an intelligent hub, the EtherHub-16i+collects port statistics and records events for system administration. When stacked with other intelligent hubs through the FlexBus 1500 ports and connected to an SNMP management device (e.g., EtherHub- 16mi+), you can monitor and control all attached hubs through in-band and out-of-band communication.
The EtherHub-16i+can be used in a stand-alone configuration to form a simple LAN networking 2 to 16 computers using the RJ-45 ports. Further network expansion can be achieved using the BNC, AUI or fiber-optic trunk port connection (optional ALT PORT), or the RJ-45 daisy-chain port. Workstations are connected to the EtherHub-16i+station ports using shielded or unshielded twisted-pair.
AccView/Open (SW6102), a Windows-based network management software package that analyzes and displays data from the EtherHub-16mi+and transmits commands from the user to the EtherHub-16mi+. AccView should be installed on the network management station (i.e., any workstation used to manage the network). If segmented architecture is used, the network management station should be on the same segment as
