Note: The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP mangement functions, you must use SNMP-based network mangement software. Accton provides Windows-based SNMP software called AccView/Open with this package. Note that AccView/Open’s Hub Manager module can be easily integrated into most third-party management platforms.

Starting the Configuration Program

Insert the distribution diskette provided with your EtherHub-16mi+into the PC's floppy drive.Then activate the EtherHub 1500 System Configuration Program as described below.

Note: 1. When using a PCMCIA modem connection, add the following entry to your config.sys file: “device=cardtalk.sys /A /Com3IRQ=4”. If your PC has a PCMCIA modem or multi-I/O card, set the proper IRQ by typing "EH15SCP/i [irq #]".

2.Help is available by entering "EH15SCP/?".

3.This program can only run under DOS, or in Windows DOS shell.

1.Type "EH15SCP" at the DOS prompt C:\>EH15SCP. Using arrow keys, select the communication port on the workstation that is connected to the hub.

2.Select the appropriate option from the DCE/DTE dialog box:

Terminal Channel for local hookup, or Modem Channel for remote connection.
