Advantages of Using the Hub Console Interface

The following are advantages of using the hub console:
1-2
easy access of the hub from anywhere on the network, if you know the
device IP address
familiar browser interface--locations of window objects consistent
with known standard
faster configuration, avoiding cycling through a series of prompts—
enables less keystrokes, using mouse clicking for navigation; no terminal
setup and console menu access necessary
many features have all their fields in one screen so you can view all
values at once (the console scrolls through a series of prompts)
more visual cues, using colors, status bars, device icons, and other
graphical objects to represent values rather than numeric values
display of acceptable ranges of values available in configuration list
boxes
port security configuration available
more comprehensive set of features to work with than the Browser
Interface
out-of-band access (through RS-232 connection) to hub, so is not
affected by network bottlenecks, crashes, and downtime
management access configuration, for example, creating an IP
address, and setting Community Names and Authorized Managers
several environment access variables available for setting, for
example Web and Telnet access
rebooting the hub is available
faster navigation, avoiding having to wait for slower display of graphical
objects over a browser interface
