Chapter 2 — Connecting to the Network
Figure 2-9 shows only the out-of-band links in place. You still need
to connect a Macintosh or PC running Asantéview 2.2 Out-of-Band
software. Figure 2-10 shows the three ways that you can connect
your Asanté Management Station for out-of-band management.
Figure 2-10 Connecting the Asanté Management Station for Out-of-Band
With Hub #1, the station is connected to one of the hub AMS Link
ports using the AMS Link Extender provided with the
AsantéBridge 1012 and is actually part of the daisychain itself. The
station could also have been connected to the AMS Link port on
Hub #3 at the other end of the chain. The effect would be the
same.
With Hub #2, the station is connected to the Bridge/Hub RS232
port using an RS232 serial data cable. In this case, the station is
not considered part of the daisychain, although it can talk to any
hub that is on the chain.
Hub #3 is identical to Hub #2 except for the modems. You must
use Hayes or Hayes compatible modems supporting a baud rate of
9600. The hub side modem must be set up to auto-answer.
