Cable Connections to Other Devices

Cable

Connections to

Other Devices

The NMM Lite’s back panel has two types of connections (out-of-

band) that let you attach other hardware devices such as PCs,

Macs, or dial-up modems:

❏

Two AsantéView Management System (AMS) Link

connectors

❏ One RS232 connector

AMS Link The AMS Link speciﬁcally provides the following types of device

connections:

❏ PC and Macintosh connections for Out-of-Band

network management

❏ Hub interconnections for out-of-band (daisy-

chained from one hub to another)

See Figure 3 on page 11 for an illustration of the AMS Link connec-

tors. The two connectors are RJ45 ports that provide an interface

to a PC or Macintosh running AsantéView Out-of-Band manage-

ment software. You can daisy-chain as many as twelve hubs or hub

stacks via the AMS Link for simultaneous out-of-band management.

Connecting Hubs in an

Out-of-Band Daisy-Chain

To connect individual hubs or hub stacks in an out-of-band daisy-

chain using the AMS Link connector:

Be sure the length of the daisy-chain, from the man-

agement station to the hub farthest away, is less than

2000 feet.

Connect a straight-through RJ45 extension cable (not

provided in the package) from an AMS Link connector

on the ﬁrst hub to an AMS Link connector on the sec-

ond hub.

Connect the hubs in a daisy-chain as shown in

Figure 4.
