HUBCTRL32 is an in-band configuration utility created by IMC Networks
that lets users quickly and easily complete the first stages of SNMP configu-
ration for IMC Networks SNMP-manageable devices.
Tasks HUBCTRL32 can perform include:
• setting the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
• defining the community strings and SNMP traps
In addition to the above functions, HUBCTRL32 offers an authorized
IP address system and access restriction to MIB groups supported by
IMC Networks manageable devices. These extra layers of security are pure-
ly optional and do not affect SNMP compatibility in any way.
HUBCTRL32 can also be used to upload new versions of the system soft-
ware and new MIB information. It also offers diagnostic capabilities for
faster resolution of technical support issues.
HUBCTRL32 works with the following platforms:
• Windows 98™
• Windows NT™
• Windows 2000™
HUBCTRL32 can be found on the iView CD, or you can download it
from the IMC Networks Web site (
www.imcnetworks.com/tech/software
).
For information regarding the use of HUBCTRL32, refer to the HUBCTRL32
online help file.

FiberLinX TX/FX features a serial port that uses an IBM-compatible DB-9
serial connector. To connect FiberLinX TX/FX to your terminal/computer, use
a straight-through (pin-to-pin) cable. (If your computer/terminal has a serial
port using a connection not
compatible with a DB-9 COM
port, use the pin connection
chart on the right for reference
in making a cable.) Make sure
the cable length is under 50 ft.
(15.24 m). Plug one end of the
cable into the DB-9 connector
on FiberLinX TX/FX and the other
into the appropriate port on
your computer/terminal.
Set your computer/terminal for VT-100 emulation. The serial port on the
computer/terminal should be set for:
38.4K baud
,
8 data bits
,
1 stop bit
,
no parity
and
no flow control
.

Main Configuration Screen
After running through an initial self test, the screen will display the
following message: “Press <Enter> for Device Configuration.”
Press Enter to be taken to the main configuration screen. Here you will
find several displays:
Saved Values
— displays changes made during current session.
➤
IP Address (MUST be assigned during initial configuration)
➤
Subnet Mask (MUST be assigned during initial configuration)
➤
Default Gateway
Current Values
— displays values currently in use.
➤
IP Address (IP address of SNMP agent)
➤
Subnet Mask (mask to define IP subnet agent is connected to)
➤
Default Gateway (default router for IP traffic outside subnet)

K
= Remove ALL Trap Destinations
➤
C
= New Community String
➤
U

Assigning TCP/IP Information
To modify the Saved Parameter Values (i.e., assign IP address and
subnet mask), press
I
. You will be instructed to enter the IP address and
subnet mask for the connected device. Press Enter after each. You may
also assign a default gateway, if desired (press Enter to skip).
When finished, press Enter, then type “Reboot” for changes to take
effect. The Saved Values and Current Values should now both display the
changes made (e.g., new IP address and subnet mask).

Because a Delete key is not available on VT-100 terminal emulators,
use the F2 key instead.

You must reboot after making any modifications to the Saved Values
or your changes will not take effect. To reboot, type the word
“Reboot” (no quote marks) at the prompt on the main configuration
screen, or turn the chassis power OFF then ON again.
