Management
Features
■
Complete SmartAgent™ management which is built into each hub; 
no additional management cards are needed. When PS Hubs are 
stacked, the management is distributed between all hubs in the 
stack.
■
Easy to use built-in management interfaces for configuration of your 
hub or stack locally or over the network:
■
A Command Line Interface for quick configuration of IP 
information for the hub.
■
A web interface for comprehensive management of the hub 
using any suitable web browser.
■
Additional management software (supplied on the CD-ROM), 
including 3Com’s Transcend
®
 Quick Configuration Manager for 
Windows
®
.
■
An implementation of SNMP for management over the network, 
using the IP protocol.
■
Support for traps (messages) which can alert an SNMP network 
management station of any problems.
■
Built-in security and resilience, which protects your network.
■
Port switching — Allows you to build up workgroups by switching 
ports easily between the four internal segments. When stacked, all 
four segments are carried between the hubs by cascade cables.
■
Automated load balancing — Configures the segments so that the 
traffic is distributed evenly across them, making the segments more 
efficient. It also analyses inter-segment traffic and moves frequently 
communicating ports to the same segment.
