Network Management Software -
HP AdvanceStack Assistant
This Windows and Unix-based network management software
discovers the Hub-12TX/Hub-12TXM hubs and displays device
symbols in a Topology View, a network map that shows the
placement of the hub in relation to other devices on the same
stack, segment, or subnetwork.
HP AdvanceStack Assistant should be installed on the network
management station designated to manage the Hub-12TX/Hub-
12TXM stack. Note that you need a Hub-12TXM in your
collision domain to use HP AdvanceStack Assistant via the
console port. The workstation may communicate with the stack
via a network connection or from a remote site (using SLIP
over TCP/IP). If isolated architecture is used, the network
management station should be connected to the same segment
as the SNMP management agent (i.e., Hub-12TXM).
The minimal configuration for a PC network management
station includes a 66MHz Intel 486 PC platform with 24
Mbytes of RAM and 30 Mbytes available space on the hard
drive, a VGA display, and Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.51.
