6 USING THE CONSOLE
INTERFACE
Your Intelligent stackable Ethernet hub supports a console management
interface that allows you to set up and control your hub, either with an
ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the
TCP/IP Telnet protocol. You can use this facility to perform many basic
network management functions. In addition, the console program will allow
you to set up the hub for management using SNMP-View or another SNMP-
based network management system. This chapter describes how to use the
console interface to access the hub, change its settings, and monitor its
operation.
Connecting to the Hub
You can use the console interface by connecting the hub to a VT100-
compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal emulator
program (e.g., the terminal program included with the Windows operating
system) using an RS-232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need
to be set to:
♦ VT-100/ANSI compatible
♦ Arrow keys enabled
♦ 9600 baud
