Monitoring the ELS100-16TX consists of collecting and analyzing 
statistics and system status information.

You can use the Select button on the front panel of the ELS100-
16TX to monitor segment status on any of the Ethernet ports. Refer 
to Section 2.1 for a description of the segment status options.

Basic management of the ELS100-16TX consists of disabling or 
enabling Ethernet ports, changing subnet masks, setting the 
community name for the ELS100-16TX, and changing the baud rate 
for your Local Console Manager (LCM) connection. 

LCM is a command-line interface built into the ELS100-16TX that 
enables you to monitor and manage the ELS100-16TX through the 
out-of-band RS232C connection attached to any non-intelligent 
terminal. You can also use one of the following Cabletron Systems 
Network Management Stations (NMSs), or a standard SNMP-
based NMS to manage the ELS100-16TX:

 • SPECTRUM

 • SPMA

 • SPEL

 • Any SNMP-based NMS

The ELS100-16TX gathers statistics that can help you build a 
comprehensive profile of the network traffic flow between each 
Local Area Network (LAN) you are connecting, as well as the 
network traffic flow between each Ethernet port on the ELS100-
16TX.
