The STHI may be installed as a fully managed stand-alone device, or it
may be stacked with up to four STH hubs, each of which adds 12 or 24
TCU ports to the LAN, bringing the total count to a maximum of 120
managed TCU ports in the stack. The STHI serves as the logical "top" of
the stack and provides full frame and error statistics for the managed ring.
The STHI fully conforms to IEEE 802.5 Token Ring specifications for
connectivity to Token Ring equipment and offers the following Token
Ring enhancement features:
• Local Management, a user interface for management control;
• Cabletron Systems' Automatic Beacon Recovery Process (ABRP);
• Multiple Ring Out connectivity for Passive MAU workgroups;
• automatic speed fault protection;
• active filtering, equalizing, and amplifying circuitry;
• and LANVIEW LEDs for "at-a-glance" diagnostic monitoring.
