Fast EtherHub 3500 System User’s Guide
∙Remote connection - making a modem connection via the hub’s serial port to the on-board menu-driven configuration program; or using SLIP over TCP/IP from a remote site to access the hub with optional network management software.
Direct Connection
The Fast EtherHub-12i does not include a management agent. Configuration options for this model are therefore limited to direct connection only. Moreover, configuration via the management port on this model is limited to this hub only (i.e., the attached stack cannot be managed with this model).
Φ
Attach a VT100 compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program, to the DB9 serial port on the front of any Fast EtherHub 3500 model. Use a null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments provided in Appendix B.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 9600 bps. Set flow control to “none,” and be sure the modem is configured to generate Data Set Ready (DSR) signals.
The Fast EtherHub-12i can only be managed via a direct connection, or via a Fast EtherHub-12mi unit located in the same stack.
Network Connection
To access the on-board management agent on the Fast EtherHub-12mi, connect a PC to any available port on the stacked system. If proper network interconnections are available, you can access the management agent from anywhere in the attached network. However, if the stack segments are not interconnected, you must connect to the segment containing the SNMP management agent.
