Accton provides a proprietary, user-friendly, menu driven out- of-band program (EtherHub 1500 System Configuration Program). This program allows you to configure the stack using a PC directly attached to the RS232 port on the management device (EtherHub-16mi+)or remotely, via a modem connected to the RS232 port. With this program you can define system parameters, manage and control stacked hubs and associated ports, set threshold levels, and monitor network conditions. The following table briefly describes the menu selections available for this program.
