Install Guide  
Description of Hardware  
The MIL-4511H is a 24-port, 10BASE-T SNMP managed hub with a modular  
uplink port supporting 10BASE-T, 10BASE2, 10BASE-BASE-FL, or AUI  
connectivity, and an RS-232 port for out-of-band management. The MIL-4511H  
supports standard MIB-II, Digi's private MIB, and MIBs using the SNMP protocol  
with both in-band management (over TCP/ IP and IPX protocols) and out-of-band  
management through an RS-232 port. Each of the 10BASE-T ports support  
LinkSentry™. LinkSentry alerts the user if or when there is a link failure.  
Description of the LEDs  
On the front panel of the MIL-4511H, there is one LED above each of the RJ-45  
ports. The LED lights in one of three colors to indicate the following:  
Green indicates link present  
Orange indicates that the device is receiving data  
Red indicates that the port is partitioned  
Also on the front panel are three LEDs located between the Stack In/ Out ports  
and the first RJ-45 port. They indicate the following:  
PWR (Power): This LED illuminates when power is applied to the device  
MBUS (Management Bus): This LED blinks when activity from the agent is in  
progress (only for the MIL-4511H).  
MSYS (Management System): This LED blinks five times per second until the  
agent is found. Once found, it blinks once per second (only for the 4511H).  
On both sides of the second group of eight Ports on the front panel are two global  
LEDs. The global RX LED lights when a port is receiving a data packet. The global  
CX LED lights when a collision occurs on one of the ports.  
Description of Dip Switches  
To the right of the DB-9 Serial Port on the rear of the hub are two Dip Switches  
(labeled 1 and 2). The following table gives the function of the two Dip Switches

Installation of the Interconnect Cable  
The interconnect cable is used to connect multiple hubs in a stack. The connector  
at the end of the cable is a 6-wire, straight-through, RJ-11 connector. Connect the  
interconnect cable into one of the Stack In/ Out ports.  
Note: Connect the RJ-11 connector into the Stack-In/Out ports only. The other 24 ports are for  
RJ-45 connectors. Stacking Multiple Hubs  
To stack multiple hubs:  
1. Place the MIL-4511H managed hub on top of the stack  
2. Connect an RJ-11 connector with straight-through, 6-wire data cable into the  
“Stack/ Out” port to the “Stack/ In” port on the first MIL-45114511H.  
3. On the first 4511H hub, connect another cable in the “Stack/ Out” port to the  
“Stack/ In” port on the next MIL-4511H (see Figure 3).

4. Continue until all of the hubs are cascaded to the MIL-4511H. W  
When cascading the hubs, the maximum total distance is 25 meters. For two  
MIL-4511H hubs used in a stack, the maximum total distance in creases to 50  
meters (with one, MIL-4511H on top; eight, MIL-4511Hs in the middle; and  
one, MIL-4511H on bottom.  
Note: Connecting a stack of hubs is for SNMP management purposes only. Do not use a stack  
for Ethernet connections.The MIL-4511H should always be at the top of the stack. If a  
second MIL-4511H is to be used in the stack, place it on the bottom. If the first MIL-4511H  
fails, the second MIL-4511H takes control of the stack.  
Model: MIL-4511H

Install Guide  
Port Redundancy  
The port redundancy capability allows a workstation to be connected to two ports  
in the stack. The LinkSentry feature shuts off out going link pulses on a port when  
incoming link pulses stop. This allows the MIL-4511H to be used with a  
redundant port transceiver (MIL-300X).  
The SNMP agent knows when a port has been partitioned on any of the hubs in  
the stack. Use Digi's private SNMP MIB to associate these two ports. When the  
primary port is active, the secondary port is inactive. If primary fails, the  
secondary port is activated until the fault on the primary port is corrected.  
Cascading Hubs  
The MIL-4511H has two micro module bays in the rear of the unit. Use an MIL-  
4320M, 10BASE2 thin coax module to cascade the hubs into one segment. Use  
standard 10BASE2 cabling guidelines when connecting the hubs. A swap cable is  
required when cascading using the front 10BASE-T ports only. When cascading  
using the MIL-4310M, 10BASE-T micro module; use its four-position DIP switch  
to select whether the cable can be used as either a swap- or straight-through cable.  
Assigning an IP Address  
Every device on a TCP/ IP network is identified by two addresses:  
The address is a 6-byte address assigned to the 4511H by the manufacturer.  
The IP address is a 4-byte address assigned by the system admin. Set this.  
The MIL-4511H stores its IP address in its NVRAM (default: 0.0.0.0).  
Caution:When the address is 0.0.0.0, the 4511H uses RARP or BOOTP to acquire an address.  
The following are ways to assign an IP address to the hub:  
Make a telnet connection via port 2002, or connect serially and set the IP  
address manually.  
Use a RARP server to set the address each time the MIL-4511H powers up.  
Use BOOTP to set the address each time the MIL-4511H powers up. This is the  
preferred method in larger networks as BOOTP can work through routers.  
Note: Neither telnet nor RARP work if the server is connected through a router on a different  
subnet from the MIL-4511H. To assign an IP address, put the MIL-4511H on the same  
subnet as the host, set-up an ARP entry with an IP address that is valid for that subnet,  
telnet to the unit, and assign an appropriate IP address.  
Model: MIL-4511H

Install Guide  
Setting the IP Address with Telnet  
The following only works if the MIL-4511H is on the same subnet as the host from  
which you want to telnet. In this example, you are to add a MIL-4511H called  
alpha with an IP address 192.185.2.3 and an Ethernet address of 0040c800012B.  
To set the IP Address using Telnet:  
1. Use a text editor to open the / etc/ hosts file.  
2. Add the following line and save the file:  
192.185.2.3 alpha  
3. Use this to set the static ARP entry for a host on the same subnet as the 4511H:  
arp -s alpha 00:40:c8:00:01:2B  
4. Set the rear panel DIP switches D2 up and D1 down and power cycle the unit.  
5. Make a telnet connection to maintenance port 2002:  
telnet alpha 2002, or connect an ANSI compatible terminal to the RS-232 port  
6. Type [!] to enter the monitor menu.  
7. If prompted with a message like Warning: Entering monitor will lock out  
other Ethernet access and force reset, type [Y] to get the command prompt.  
8. Type [N] to enter the network protocols menu.  
9. Type [T] to enter the TCP/ IP menu.  
10. Change the settings for the TCP/ IP engine options as prompted.  
11. Return to the main menu and reboot the MIL-4511H with the [R] command.  
Note: On IBM RS-6000 systems, use the following command instead of the command given in  
step 3 to specify that the connection is Ethernet II:  
arp -s ether alpha 0:40:c8:0:01:2B  
On AT&T Star servers and NCR systems, use this command:  
arpbypass set alpha 0x00.0x40.0xc8.0x00.0x01.0x2B  
On Windows 95/98 or NT with TCP/IP systems, use this command:  
arp -s alpha 00-40-C8-00-01-2B  
The MIL-4511H is now configured on the network.  
Model: MIL-4511H

Install Guide  
Setting the IP Address with RARP  
RARP provides a way for devices on the network to query a server for their IP  
address at start-up. This only works if the 4511H is on the same subnet as the host  
running the RARP daemon. however, it will RARP if its address is set to 0.0.0.0.  
To set the IP Address with RARP:  
1. Verify that you have RARP (usually located in the / usr/ etc directory).  
2. Find the hardware address of the MIL-4511H (on the bottom of the unit).  
3. Add the address to the / etc/ ethers file, or the NIS master ethers database. For  
example, if a device named alpha has an address of 0040C802ABCD, then add:  
00:40:c8:02:ab:cd:alpha  
4. Add the IP address and the host name to the / etc/ hosts file. For example, a  
device named alpha with an address 192.185.2.3, add the following line:  
192.185.2.3 alpha  
Note: For hosts using NIS and ethers databases, rebuild the databases at this time. Change to  
the YP directory and type make at the command prompt. Then continue this procedure:  
5. Power on the MIL-4511H.  
6. Verify that the RARP daemon is running:  
ps-ax | grep RARP (for BSD UNIX) or  
ps-ef | grep RARP (for System V UNIX)  
Otherwise, start the RARP daemon by typing:  
/usr/etc/rarpd-a or /etc/rarpd-a  
If successful, the SYS LED flashes five times per second until the 4511H resolves  
its IP address. Then it flashes once per second after address resolution.  
Note: The IP address in this case is stored in RAM. Hence, if the MIL-4511H is powered off, the  
address will be lost and when the unit is powered on, the MIL-4511H will RARP again.  
Setting the IP Address with BOOTP  
BOOTP allows a diskless client machine to discover its own IP address. Unlike  
RARP, BOOTP is IP/ UPD based and it can pass through routers.  
To set the IP Address with BOOTP on a Sun system:  
1. Verify that you have BOOTP (usually located in the / usr/ etc directory).  
2. Use a text editor to open the / etc/ hosts file.  
Model: MIL-4511H  
9
 
Install Guide  
3. Add the host name and address, and then save the file. For example, for a  
MIL-4511H called alpha with an IP address 192.185.2.3, add this line:  
192.185.2.3 alpha  
4. Edit BOOTP in the / etc directory containing the hostname of the MIL-4511H,  
hardware type, hardware address, and the IP address. Format the entry:  
<hostname of MIL-4511H>:ht=1:ha=<hardware address>:ip=<ip address>  
For example, an entry named alpha, with a hardware address of 0040c8010203  
and an IP address of 199.86.12.183:  
alpha:ht=1:ha=0040c8010203:ip=199.86.12.183:  
5. Start the BOOTP daemon by typing the command / usr/ etc/ BOOTPd. The  
MIL-4511H will broadcast BOOTP packets and will obtain a response from the  
server and will use the IP address specified in / etc/ BOOTP file.  
To set the IP Address with BOOTP on a HP/UX system:  
1. Login as root on the system and start SAM, the System Administration Tool,  
by entering sam at the command line.  
2. Use a text editor to open the / etc/ hosts file and add the following line:  
192.185.2.3 alpha  
3. Use the following menu sequence in sam:  
Networking--> Communications--> Device Connectivity-->  
Boot Protocol--> Actions--> Add  
4. In response to the program prompts, add the following information:  
BOOTP Device Name: <specify the hostname of the MIL-4511H>  
Internet address: <specify the IP address of the MIL-4511H>  
Subnet address: <specify the subnet mask of the MIL-4511H>  
Station address (hex): <specify the hardware address of the MIL-4511H>  
Boot file name: <specify the full path of this file> (e.g.: / etc/ BOOTPtab)  
5. Answer the prompt for BOOTP Device Adapter Type by clicking first on  
Ethernet and then click on Apply.  
6. Exit out of SAM.  
7. Start BOOTP.  
The MIL-4511H will broadcast BOOTP packets and will obtain a response  
from the server using the IP address specified in / etc/ BOOTPtab file.  
Model: MIL-4511H  
10  
 
Install Guide  
If the BOOTP process is successful, the SYS LED flashes five times per second  
until the MIL-4511H resolves its IP address. It flashes once per second after  
address resolution.  
Note: The IP address in this case is stored in RAM. When the MIL-4511H is powered off, the  
address will be lost and when the unit is powered on, the MIL-4511H will RARP again.  
Verifying the IP Address is Set Properly  
To see if the 4511H is up and responding on the network, use the ping command:  
ping <hostname>  
It should respond with a message that the host is alive. For example, if the MIL-  
4511H alpha is responding on the network, the response from ping will be:  
alpha is alive  
If there is a problem resolving the MIL-4511H name, try using ping with the IP  
address for the MIL-4511H:  
ping <ip-address>
