ABSTRACT

This ability is vital in large, enterprise-wide networks, where a single manager may be in charge of a WAN spanning several cities or states. In such situations, it's not always economically feasible to maintain a technician on-site to troubleshoot occasional problems. The ability to reconfigure the hub from a remote site can thus mean the difference between keeping a network segment online or shutting it down until a technician can make the trip to repair the failed unit.
