Owner`s manual

4–4 DEChub 900 MultiSwitch Owner’s Manual
The OBM port allows you to manage network modules with a computer and a net-
work management application capable of sending SNMP commands over a Serial
Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) using a modem, or a direct connection to the OBM port.
If your network management application supports Ping echo, you can use it to verify
the SLIP connection.
You can also manage the hub and network modules by using a terminal server that
supports SLIP, or with a device that supports routing IP packets from its Ethernet
interface using SLIP on an asynchronous port. If you have a DECserver 900TM,
DECserver 90TL, or a DECserver 90M configured as a standalone device, you can
establish a SLIP connection between one of the terminal server ports and the Hub
Manager OBM port.
Refer to your terminal server documentation for instructions on setting up SLIP con-
nections, and to Table 3–2 for cable and adapter information.
