1.2 STHI Overview
 
The  STHI is an SNMP compliant intelligent hub that provides basic 
management functionality including port and station control, statistical 
error and trap tracking, and enhanced beacon recovery for a Token Ring 
LAN. Its front panel TCU (Trunk Connector Unit) ports allow for network 
connections to either active stations or passive Multi-Station Access Units 
(MAUs) while its TPIM (Token Ring Port Interface Module) ports allow 
for ring expansions across a variety of media. Its rear panel HubSTACK 
ports provide for ring expansion through connections to multiple STH 
non-intelligent hubs. See Figure 1-1.
