SmartStack Manager for Windows

The SmartSwitch Manager is an application that runs under Windows. It provides
an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that displays a view of the switch front
panel and supports configuration, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting.
This application is included with the SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R.

Telnet Management and VT100 Management (Console)

The Console Management function may be accessed out-of-band via the TIA/EIA-
232-F (that is, RS-232) port labeled MANAGEMENT or in-band via Telnet.

IBM LAN Network Manager

The SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R does not support management by the
IBM LAN Network Manager, but it will allow LAN Network Manager LLC frames
to flow through the switch so that communication to existing LNM manageable
hubs and source route bridges will be maintained. The switch also implements a
mini Ring Parameter Server to supply attached NICs (such as CAUs) with the
configured ring number.
Some error reporting functions and ring map functions might be lost for the rings
attached to through the switch, because a Token Ring Switch will not (and should
not) forward MAC frames, but only LLC frames between ports.
