AsantéHub 2072 Network Management Module Installation Guide

Pressing

a

sets the node summary aging time, which is the

amount of time the hub stores node summary data. Each time
a new device uses a port, or the frame type changes, the hub
stores an entry in the Node Summary log. If the hub does not
receive data again from that node within the specified aging
time, the node data is purged from the log.

If the aging time is set to a short time span, prob-
lem nodes may time out and be dropped from the
Node Summary table.

Console Password

Use to set the password for the terminal interface connection.
The password is case-sensitive, and it can be up to 20 charac-
ters. You’re prompted for this password when you choose the
Configuration menu from the Asanté Remote Management Sys-
tem Main menu. The default password is

Asante.

Telnet Idle Timeout

Use to set the length of idle time, in whole minutes, before Tel-
net closes the current connection. The default is 20 minutes.
To keep Telnet from timing out at all, set the idle time to zero
minutes.

Toggle Segment Switch Lock/Unlock

Use to enable/disable manual segment control. When manual
segment control is disabled, pressing the two segment control
buttons on the standard NMM faceplate does nothing.

Reset EEPROM on NMM Module to Default

Use to set user-defined settings for the NMM to their default
values. The hub name, hub contact, hub location, dial string,
and boot file name fields become blank, and the boot server
IP address is set to all zeros. These changes occur immediately.

The hub IP address, subnet mask, and default router IP address
are set to all zeros. Console Password is set back to its default,
which is

Asante.

Telnet Idle Timeout is also set back to its

default, which is 20 minutes. These changes occur on hub
restart.

Reset EEPROM on All Repeater Module(s) to Default

Use to set port parameters—Port Connection, Link Test, and
Auto Polarity Correction—to the default value, which is
Enabled. These changes occur immediately.
