HP Hub-12TX/Hub-12TXM Installation and Reference Guide
Configuring the System 4-7
Using the VT-100 Console Interface
The Hub-12TX and Hub-12TXM both provide a menu-driven
VT-100 console interface. The VT-100 console interface
differs for the Hub-12TX and the Hub-12TXM. The
connection types allowed and options provided are summarized
below:
• The Hub-12TX is designed as a manageable hub, without an
on-board SNMP agent. Therefore, when an SNMP agent
(i.e., the Hub-12TXM) is connected to this hub via the
Stacking Cable, its Console Port will be disabled, and
configuration must be carried out using the Hub-12TXM.
However, if this hub is not connected to an agent, you can
configure it by making a direct connection to the Console
Port.
• When configuring a Hub-12TXM and connected stack, you
can use a direct connection to the Console Port, use a Telnet
connection from a networked computer, or use a standard
modem connection from a remote computer.
System Configuration for the Hub-12TX
With the VT-100 console interface you can carry out basic
configuration on the attached hub, such as setting the hub ID,
isolating the hub from the stack, or configuring the Switch Port
Module. Set up a direct connection to the hub, and enter the
password “admin” (if you have not yet changed the password).
The following menu will be displayed after logging on.
