Repeater, Unit and Port Screens
There are three levels at which you can manage the
hub using VT100:
Repeater — If you manage at Repeater level, you are
managing or viewing the device as a whole. Any
stackable products, for example 3Com's SuperStack ®
range, can be logically stacked so that all the
products form a single, logical repeater.
Unit — If you manage at Unit level, you are
managing or viewing the hub.
Port — If you manage at Port level, you set up
parameters and examine statistics for individual
ports. This allows you to manage individual users or
small workgroups.
3Com's OfficeConnect ® range can be physically
stacked but not logically stacked. Each unit remains a
separate repeater regardless of how it is connected
to other OfficeConnect units. Therefore, managing
the hub at Repeater level is the same as managing it
at Unit level.
