HUBCTRL32
HUBCTRL32™(Hub Control 32) is an in-band configuration utility
created by IMC Networks that lets users quickly and easily complete the first
stages of SNMP configuration for IMC Networks SNMP-manageable devices.
Tasks HUBCTRL32 can perform include:
• setting the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway;
• defining the community strings and SNMP traps; and
• setting PPP parameters for remote management.
In addition to the above functions, HUBCTRL32 offers an authorized IP
address system and access restriction to MIB groups supported by IMC
Networks manageable devices. These extra layers of security are purely
optional and do not effect SNMP compatibility in any way.
HUBCTRL32 can also be used to upload new versions of the system
software and new MIB information. It also offers diagnostic capabilities for
faster resolution of technical support issues.
HUBCTRL32 works with the following platforms:
• Windows NT™ • Windows 98™
HUBCTRL32 can be found on the iView CD, or you can download it from
the IMC Networks Web site (www.imcnetworks.com/tech/
software.htm). For installation instructions, please see page Ap.4 in the
Appendix of this guide.
For information regarding the use of HUBCTRL32, refer to the
HUBCTRL32 online help file.
Serial Port Configuration
The DB-9 serial port found on the FiberLinX faceplate may also be used to
assign IP information to FiberLinX. For instructions, please see page Ap.1 in
the Appendix of this guide.
