HP 100Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference Guide
4-2 Configuring the System
Direct Connection
The Hub-12TX and Hub-24TX
do not include a management
agent. Configuration options
for these models are therefore
limited to direct connection
only. Moreover, configuration
via the Console Port on these
models is limited to that hub
only (i.e., the attached stack
cannot be managed with these
models).
Attach a VT-100 compatible terminal, or a PC running a
terminal emulation program, to the DB9 Console Port on the
front of any HP 100Base-T Hub model. Use the included null
modem cable that complies with the wiring assignments
provided in Appendix B.
When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT-100,
specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set
communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 9600 bps.
Set flow control to “none.”
F
The Hub-12TX and Hub-24TX can only be managed via a direct
connection, or via a Hub-12TXM unit located in the same stack.
Network Connection
The on-board configuration menu on the Hub-12TXM can also
be accessed by connecting a PC to any available port on the
stacked system. If proper network interconnections are
available, you can access the management agent from anywhere
in the attached network. However, if the stack has hubs that are
isolated, you must connect to the collision domain containing
the SNMP management agent.
Local Network Telnet Connection
Before accessing a hub
using a Telnet connection, be
sure you have already set the
agent’s IP address via the
VT-100 console interface or
boot protocol.
Prior to accessing the hub via a Telnet connection, you must
first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway using an out-of-band connection or boot
protocol. (Refer to
8VLQJWKH97&RQVROH,QWHUIDFH later in this
chapter.) After configuring the hub’s IP parameters, you can
Telnet into its menu-driven VT-100 console interface from
anywhere within the attached network.
