Moreover, the Hub-12TX/Hub-12TXM provides advanced
network security features including “Intrusion Protection”

network traffic management and bandwidth utilization
• Stacking Ports for connecting to multiple hubs in a Hub-12TX
stack via a Stacking Cable
• On-board management via the RS-232 Console Port
connected directly to a terminal, or to a local or remote
computer (that provides a standard RS-232 port) running a
