HP 100Base-T Hubs Installation and Reference Guide
Configuring the System 4-7
Using the VT-100 Console Interface
The Hub-12TX, Hub-12TXM and Hub-24TX all provide a
menu-driven VT-100 console interface. The VT-100 console
interface differs for the Hub-24TX, Hub-12TX and the Hub-
12TXM. The connection types allowed and options provided
are summarized below:
• The Hub-24TX is designed as a manageable hub, without an
on-board SNMP agent. Therefore, when an SNMP agent
(i.e., the Hub-12TXM) is connected to this hub via the
Stacking Cable, its Console Port will be disabled, and
configuration must be carried out using the Hub-12TXM.
However, if this hub is not connected to an agent, you can
configure it by making a direct connection to the Console
Port.
• The Hub-12TX is also designed as a manageable hub,
without an on-board SNMP agent. Like the Hub-24TX, it
can be configured by being connected to a Hub-12TXM in a
stack, or if there is no agent, by a direct connection to the
Console Port.
• When configuring a Hub-12TXM and connected stack, you
can use a direct connection to the Console Port, use a Telnet
connection from a networked computer, or use a standard
modem connection from a remote computer.
System Configuration for the Hub-24TX
With the VT-100 console interface you can carry out basic
configuration on the attached hub, such as setting the hub ID or
isolating the hub from the stack. Set up a direct connection to
the hub, press the Enter key several times, and enter the
password (or just press the Enter key if you have not yet
configured the password). The following menu will be
displayed after logging on.
