EtherHub 1500 System User’s Guide
In addition, this hub supports a multi-segment bus architecture that enhances traffic management and network bandwidth utilization. With an SNMP agent, this unit not only functions as an intelligent hub, but can also monitor up to 10 intelligent hubs connected to it (including itself) through the FlexBus 1500 port connection. The EtherHub-16mi+conforms to both the IEEE 802.3 repeater specification and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
This hub supports both in-band and out-of-band management. For in-band management, it uses Accton’s optional Network Management Software, called AccView/Open (not included with this package) to monitor and control a stacked system. For out-of-band management, the device’s RS232 port can be connected to a PC and managed using Accton’s EtherHub 1500 System Configuration Program. Any computer (i.e., XT, AT) with a COM1~4 RS232 port, at least 640 KB on-board memory, and a monochrome, EGA or VGA display can be used.
The Etherhub-16mi+can be configured as a stand-alone system to form a simple LAN networking 2 to 16 computers using the RJ-45 ports. Or it can be connected to other hubs using the FlexBus 1500 port connection. Further network expansion can be achieved using the BNC, AUI or fiber-optic trunk port connection (optional ALT PORT), or the RJ-45 daisy-chain port. Workstations are connected to the EtherHub-16mi+station ports using shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable.
