You can also make a remote network connection (via modems) to the
serial port on the Agent Module using SLIP protocol over TCP/IP. Using
this kind of connection, the system functions similar to a router, allowing
you to manage the hub or other attached devices using Telnet, a web
browser, or network management software.

Agent Module

Table 2-2 provides information for the Agent Module available for the
ELH100-12/24TX.

Table 2-2. Agent Module

Prior to accessing the hub via a SLIP connection, first
configure it with a valid SLIP IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway.

The on-board program only provides access to basic
configuration functions. To access the full range of
SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP-
based network management software.
