Remote In-Band
Fast EtherHub 3500 System User’s Guide
Before accessing a hub using in-band management software from a remote site, be sure you have already set the hub’s serial IP address via the on-board configuration program or boot protocol.
- You can also make a remote network connection to the Fast EtherHub-12mi via the serial port using SLIP protocol over TCP/IP. Using this kind of connection, you can manage the hub or other attached network devices using in- band network management software. Note that the system functions similar to a router when you use IP protocol over a SLIP link to the serial port, providing direct access to all attached network resources (depending on your assigned user privileges).
Note: The winsocket used by both Windows 95 and Windows NT include the SLIP protocol.
Accessing the Configuration Management Program
There are two methods for configuring the EtherHub 3500 system - using the on-board configuration program, or using network management software (e.g., AccView/Open). Contact your Accton dealer for more information on AccView/Open.
Configuring Your System with the On-board Program
On-board configuration requires a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program as your working platform. There are three valid connection types to the hub:
∙Onsite connection
The workstation, normally within the vicinity of the hub, is directly connected to the serial port on the hub.
∙Telnet connection
The workstation is connected to a remote Fast EtherHub 3500 hub via a networked Telnet connection.
∙Modem connection
The workstation is connected to a remote Fast EtherHub 3500 hub via modems.
