AsantéHub 2072 Network Management Module Installation Guide
Introducing the
Network
Management
Module
The Asanté 2072 Network Management Module (NMM) provides
overall network management for the AsantéHub
2072 or
NetStacker hub. By plugging the module into any one of the
expansion slots in the chassis, the NMM works with the
AsantéView network management software to monitor and con-
trol AH
2072 NMM or NetStacker modules, gather statistics, moni-
tor network traffic, and set alarm thresholds. Figure 1 shows an
example of the NMM front panel.

You do not have to have an NMM in the chassis
for the repeater modules to function properly.
The NMM’s major purpose is to manage the hub
and gather network statistics.
The primary features of the NMM include:
❏ AsantéView management capability for in-band
and out-of-band
❏ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
support
❏ Segment control
❏ Remote network management via RS232
❏ Terminal connection via RS232
❏ Comprehensive LEDs
❏ Upgrading capabilities
❏ Hub Alert Audio/Visual Aid
Interfacing with AsantéView network management software, the
NMM allows you to proactively manage your network via in-band
and out-of-band management from either Apple Macintosh
®
or
Microsoft Windows
®
PC platforms.
The NMM has built-in SNMP support. When running AsantéView
management software from a Macinosh or PC, you can control the
AsantéHub
2072 or NetStacker hub.
The NMM also supports both management information base (MIB)
I and II, as well as Asanté’s private MIB extension.
