Introduction
This guide describes how to set up and manage the
OfficeConnect® Hub 8/TPM. The hub is ready for use
in your network. It does not require management to
get it working. Management simply allows you to
perform additional network functions, for example
monitoring your network and adding security.
This guide is written for users who are new to
networking. If you are going to manage your
network for the first time, it is possible you may
make mistakes. We have tried to identify the likely
errors you may make and have provided hints and
tips to help you recover from these situations. If you
are already familiar with network management, you
may be able to skip some of the information in this
guide and use the information given for reference
purposes.
There is a Quick Reference Guide accompanying this
guide. It contains some useful information from this
guide which you may need to refer to regularly.
