IP or IPX Address Enter the IP or IPX address of the remote network management station to which SNMP traps should be sent.

Community String The community string allows a very simple method of authentication between the hub and the remote network management station. You can enter any text string of up to 32 characters (case sensitive). The remote network management station must be configured to look for traps sent with this community string, otherwise it will ignore the traps. The default community string is public.

Throttle To prevent a remote network management station receiving too many traps at once, you can configure the hub to transmit traps with a delay between each trap. If several traps are generated at once, they will be transmitted with the specified delay between them. The unit of throttle is one thousandth of a second. The default value is 100, which gives a delay of one tenth of a second between each transmission. If you set the throttle to 0, traps will be sent as soon as they are generated.

If your trap configuration results in a large number of traps being generated within a short period of time, it is possible that some traps will not be sent.

Connecting a Modem to the Console Port

The Console Port Setup screen is shown in Figure 5-7. The console port is already correctly configured by default. Only alter these default settings if you are connecting a modem to the console port.

CAUTION: Do not change any of these settings unless you fully understand what you are doing. Incorrect settings will lock you out from the hub when you select OK, and you will have to contact your supplier for information on recovering management communication.
