Hot Remove Function

The EtherHub 1500 system supports a “hot remove” capability that allows you to connect/disconnect the EtherHub 1500 hubs from the system without disrupting the network

Preparing for Configuration Management

There are two methods for configuring the EtherHub 1500 system - using the out-of-band program or using the Configure button. Optional in-band network management software, AccView/Open, may also be used to configure the system. Contact your Accton dealer for more information on AccView/Open.

Out-of-Band Configuration

Out-of-band configuration requires a computer as your working platform. There are two valid connection types to the hub:

∙Out-of-band onsite connection

The workstation, normally within the vicinity of the hub, is directly connected to the serial port on the hub.

∙Out-of-band modem connection

The workstation is connected to the remote EtherHub-16mi+via modems.

The physical setup and connections required for out-of-band management are described in greater detail under

in Chapter 3. To open the EtherHub 1500

System Configuration Program, do the following:

1.Insert the distribution diskette provided with your hub into the PC's floppy drive.
