10BASE-T Stackable Hubs ◊ Manual Partition The indicator of a port lights amber continually when the port is manually partitioned. Manually partitioning a port has the same effect as automatic partitioning, except that you must also manually re-enable it. You can choose to manually partition a port even if there is nothing wrong with it, for example to prevent a certain device from accessing the network or to reduce network traffic. No incoming packet transmission can occur on a manually partitioned port. Ports can be partitioned and re-enabled using an SNMP-based network management system, or using the console menu interface. ♦ Master (manageable models only) The Master indicator lights to indicate that the master hub is serving as an active master. ♦ Console (manageable models only) The master hub's Console or Out-Of-Band indicator will light to indicate whether the hub's RS-232 console port is being used for the console interface or for out-of-band network management using the SLIP protocol. The mode of the console port may be set using the console interface or using an SNMP-based network management system. ♦ FCS/Align (manageable models only) The FCS (Frame Check Sequence)/Align indicator lights amber to indicate that data packets have been corrupted during transmission. An FCS error occurs when a data packet fails an internal consistency check. An alignment error occurs when the bits in a packet don't add up to a whole number of bytes.

10BASE-T Stackable Hubs
Manual Partition
The indicator of a port lights amber continually when the port is
manually partitioned.
Manually partitioning a port has the same effect as automatic
partitioning, except that you must also manually re-enable it. You can
choose to manually partition a port even if there is nothing wrong
with it, for example to prevent a certain device from accessing the
network or to reduce network traffic.
No incoming packet transmission can occur on a manually partitioned
port. Ports can be partitioned and re-enabled using an SNMP-based
network management system, or using the console menu interface.
Master
(manageable models only)
The Master indicator lights to indicate that the master hub is serving as an
active master.
Console
(manageable models only)
The master hub's Console or Out-Of-Band indicator will light to indicate
whether the hub's RS-232 console port is being used for the console
interface or for out-of-band network management using the SLIP
protocol. The mode of the console port may be set using the console
interface or using an SNMP-based network management system.
FCS/Align
(manageable models only)
The FCS (Frame Check Sequence)/Align indicator lights amber to
indicate that data packets have been corrupted during transmission. An
FCS error occurs when a data packet fails an internal consistency check.
An alignment error occurs when the bits in a packet don't add up to a
whole number of bytes.
