These three fields use the same information as sysContact and sysName in the MIB II panel, so if you change them, the fields in the MIB II panel change as well. For information on the MIB II panel, see “Displaying Information About the Hub” on

page 4-13.

■IP Address — Provides a box for you to type the IP address of the hub.
