The MIL-4511H is a 24-port, 10BASE-T SNMP managed hub with a modular 
uplink port supporting 10BASE-T, 10BASE2, 10BASE-BASE-FL, or AUI 
connectivity, and an RS-232 port for out-of-band management. The MIL-4511H 
supports standard MIB-II, Digi's private MIB, and MIBs using the SNMP protocol 
with both in-band management (over TCP/IP and IPX protocols) and out-of-band 
management through an RS-232 port. Each of the 10BASE-T ports support 
LinkSentry™. LinkSentry alerts the user if or when there is a link failure.

On the front panel of the MIL-4511H, there is one LED above each of the RJ-45 
ports. The LED lights in one of three colors to indicate the following:

• Green indicates 

 

link

 

 present

• Orange indicates that the device is receiving data

• Red indicates that the port is partitioned

Also on the front panel are three LEDs located between the Stack In/ Out ports 
and the first RJ-45 port. They indicate the following:

• PWR (Power): This LED illuminates when power is applied to the device

• MBUS (Management Bus): This LED blinks when activity from the agent is in 

progress (only for the MIL-4511H).

• MSYS (Management System): This LED blinks five times per second until the 

agent is found. Once found, it blinks once per second (only for the 4511H).

On both sides of the second group of eight Ports on the front panel are two global 
LEDs. The global RX LED lights when a port is receiving a data packet. The global 
CX LED lights when a collision occurs on one of the ports.

To the right of the DB-9 Serial Port on the rear of the hub are two Dip Switches 
(labeled 1 and 2). The following table gives the function of the two Dip Switches
