VT100
Repeater, Unit and Port Screens
There are three levels at which you can manage the
hub using VT100:
■
Repeater
— If you manage at Repeater level, you are
managing or viewing the device as a whole. Any
stackable products, for example 3Com’s SuperStack
®
range, can be logically stacked so that all the
products form a single, logical repeater.
■
Unit
— If you manage at Unit level, you are
managing or viewing the hub.
■
Port
— If you manage at Port level, you set up
parameters and examine statistics for individual
ports. This allows you to manage individual users or
small workgroups.
3Com’s OfficeConnect
®
range can be physically
stacked but not logically stacked. Each unit remains a
separate repeater regardless of how it is connected
to other OfficeConnect units. Therefore, managing
the hub at
Repeater
level is the same as managing it
at
Unit
level.
