When using Quick Config Manager with Windows '95 and managing
through the console port, you must first disable FIFO buffers in the
Advanced Port Settings window in Windows '95. To do this:
1 In the Windows '95 environment, select My Computer.
2 Select (in turn): Control Panel, System, Device Manager, Ports, COM1
(or whatever COM port you are using instead), Port Settings, and
Advanced.
The Advanced Port Settings window appears.
3 Uncheck the Use FIFO Buffers checkbox.
4 Click OK for the Advanced Port Settings window, and all of the
windows that were opened in order to access the window.
When you have made your connection and installed Quick Config
Manager, you are ready to manage the stack. Quick Config Manager
uses COM 1 as the default serial port on your management station.
If you want to change this, refer to "Running Quick Config Manager"
on page B-4.
You must have an IP stack on your management station, so that you
can manage over a TCP/IP network.
You can manage the hub or stack over the network, through any of
the ports. However, for the communication to work over the network,
the port through which your communication reaches the stack must be
connected to segment 1 (either directly or indirectly) of the hub with
the IP address configured.
For information on installing and using Quick Config Manager, refer to
Appendix B.
