The AMS Link speciﬁcally provides the following types of device connections:

❏ PC and Macintosh connections for Out-of-Band network management

❏ Hub interconnections for out-of-band (daisy- chained from one hub to another)

The two AMS Link connectors are RJ-45 ports that provide an interface to a PC or Macintosh running AsantéView Out-of-Band management software.You can daisy-chain as many as twelve hubs via the AMS Link for simultaneous out-of-band management.

To connect hubs in an out-of-banddaisy-chain using the AMS Link connector:

1 Be sure the length of the daisy-chain, from the man- agement station to the hub furthest away, is less than 2000 feet.

2 Connect a straight-throughRJ-45 extension cable (not provided in the package) from an AMS Link connector on the ﬁrst hub to an AMS Link connector on the sec- ond hub.

Connect the hubs in a daisy-chain as shown in Figure 4 on page 13.

3 To enable termination in the Out-of-Banddaisy-chain, set DIP Switch 1 DOWN (END) on the end hub only.

4 On all other hubs in the chain, set DIP Switch 1 UP (THROUGH).
