Hub Manager

This chapter describes the features and functionality of the Hub Manager, including

the setup port, the out-of-band management port, the Hub Status Display, and self-

test procedures.

The Hub Manager is a replaceable microprocessor-based controller used to monitor,

configure, and control the hub. It provides a central point for status and control for

allocation of hub resources to hub-mounted network modules, either under remote

management or local control.

network modules for direct in-band communication from the network manage-

ment station.
