Introduction

Welcome to the Cabletron Systems

STHI Intelligent Stackable Token

Ring Hub User’s Guide

. Please read through this manual to gain an

understanding of the features and capabilities of the STHI. A general

knowledge of IEEE 802.5 Token Ring communications networks and their

physical layer components will be helpful.

1.1 Contents of This Manual

Chapter 1,

Introduction

, outlines the contents of this manual, describes

STHI features, and offers leads to further information.

Chapter 2,

Requirements & Specifications

, describes installation

requirements, network guidelines, and STHI operating specifications.

Chapter 3,

Installation

, contains instructions for installing the STHI and

making network connections.

Chapter 4,

Troubleshooting

, describes how to use the LANVIEW LED

system to troubleshoot network problems.

Chapter 5,

1.2 STHI Overview

The STHI is an SNMP compliant intelligent hub that provides basic

management functionality including port and station control, statistical

error and trap tracking, and enhanced beacon recovery for a Token Ring

LAN. Its front panel TCU (Trunk Connector Unit) ports allow for network

connections to either active stations or passive Multi-Station Access Units

(MAUs) while its TPIM (Token Ring Port Interface Module) ports allow

for ring expansions across a variety of media. Its rear panel HubSTACK

ports provide for ring expansion through connections to multiple STH

non-intelligent hubs. See Figure 1-1.
