the Hub to be replaced is not functioning and you cannot use AdminBrowser, get the
configuration settings from the As-Built Document that was created as part of the
original installation.
Replacing a Fusion Main Hub
1. Using AdminBrowser, log in, click SYSTEM INFORMATION, click SHOW SYSTEM
T
REE, select Fusion Hub, click GET SYSTEM INFORMATION.
