Application support for StackProbes is incorporated within the Optivity network management system. Network administrators can easily gain advanced network management features without the need for additional wiring. Per-hub configuration switching allows any hub in the stack to be assigned remotely to segment one or two. The number of workstations sharing a single collision domain can be cut in half when the stack is configured for two segments with separate uplinks to a switch, drastically improving network performance. This ensures that the network remains operational under demanding conditions.
Automatic hub settings restoration saves time-consuming manual network administration.
The displays also enable hub and network operational status to be determined immediately, right in the wiring closet, without the use of network management software. Each BayStack 200 Series hub has a limited lifetime warranty, including power supply, ensuring years of worry-free operation. Example Configurations of the BayStack 200 Series 100BASE-TX Hubs. In a standalone configuration, the BayStack 200 Series hubs deliver the bandwidth required to support power workgroups and increasingly powerful applications. Linking a BayStack 200 Series hub or stack to a BayStack 350 Series switch provides the power workgroup with a 100 Mbps connection to centralized resources such as high-utilization servers and routers.
