Chapter 1

Introduction

What Is in This Chapter

This chapter introduces the SPECTRUM Management Module for 3Com

PortSwitch Hubs. It describes the following:

• 3Com PortSwitch Hubs

• SPECTRUM Model Type

• Accessing SPECTRUM views

• SPECTRUM Views Roadmap

3Com PortSwitch Hubs

The 3Com PortSwitch Hubs are stackable Fast Ethernet hubs that provide

Fast Ethernet uplinks. This device provides 12 or 24 ports for twisted pair

connections via RJ-45 connectors.

SPECTRUM Model Type

The model type

Hub3ComPortSw

refers to the management module

software package used to specify attributes, actions, and associations for the

physical 3Com PortSwitch Hub device using the Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Bases (MIBs)

for that device.

Accessing SPECTRUM Views

Introduction 3Com PortSwitch Hubs

1-2 Management Module Guide

Accessing SPECTRUM Views

Icons and labels that display information within an icon provide access to

SPECTRUM views. This is done using double-click zones (Figure 1-1) and Icon

Subviews menu selections (Figure 1-2).

To access the Icon Subviews menu as shown in Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3, do

the following:

1. Highlight the icon or label.

2. From the View menu select

Icon Subviews

or click the applicable mouse

button (middle or right). Refer to the

SPECTRUM Icons Reference

for

information on conﬁguring your mouse.
