Telemetry Port

The Telemetry port only receives packets destined for the port’s IP address, can transmit packets onto the network, and is used for SNMP communications to the probe. It requires the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway IP Address fields. The following apply to Monitor/Transmit ports:

HP OpenView can discover the interface

The interface is IP addressable

The interface responds to RMON groups 1 through 9 queries

zThe interface will transmit all traps from the probe

The interface will transmit all extended RMON packet samples from Monitor-only ports, Monitor/Transmit ports, and itself.

Terminal

An input/output device that permits interaction with a probe or computer. The device can be a display and keyboard, or a personal computer. An ASCII terminal, or PC emulating an ASCII terminal, can be connected to the probe for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting the probe.

ThickLAN

A local area network (LAN) operating over 10-mm diameter coaxial LAN cable. HP ThickLAN networks are compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base5 standard.

Token

A short frame that circulates over the ring until captured by a station that wants to transmit a message. Tokens have a specific format as defined by the Token-Ring standard.

Token-Ring

A LAN developed by IBM Corporation. Token-Ring transmits at 4 Mbit or 16 Mbit per second.

Token-Ring Cable

The MsAU cable used to connect devices to the Token-Ring network. This cable connects a MsAU network port to either the RJ-45 or DB-9 probe port.
