AsantéHub 2072 Network Management Module Installation Guide
Cable
Connections to
Other Devices
The NMM’s front panel has two connections (out-of-band) that
provide attachment to other hardware devices such as PCs, Macs,
or dial-up modems:
❏ AsantéView Management System (AMS) Link
❏ RS232 connector
AMS Link The AMS Link specifically provides the following types of device
connections:
❏ PC and Macintosh connections for Out-of-Band
network management
❏ Hub interconnections for out-of-band (daisy-
chained from one hub to another)
The two AMS Link connectors are RJ-45 ports that provide an
interface to a PC or Macintosh running AsantéView Out-of-Band
management software. You can daisy-chain as many as twelve hubs
via the AMS Link for simultaneous out-of-band management.
Connecting Hubs in an
Out-of-Band Daisy-Chain
To connect hubs in an out-of-band daisy-chain using the AMS Link
connector:
1 Be sure the length of the daisy-chain, from the man-
agement station to the hub furthest away, is less than
2000 feet.
2 Connect a straight-through RJ-45 extension cable ( not
provided in the package) from an AMS Link connector
on the first hub to an AMS Link connector on the sec-
ond hub.
Connect the hubs in a daisy-chain as shown in
Figure 4 on page 13.
3 To enable termination in the Out-of-Band daisy-chain,
set DIP Switch 1
DOWN (END) on the end hub only.
4 On all other hubs in the chain, set DIP Switch 1 UP
(THROUGH).
