Overview
This manual describes the software installation and network management
procedures for the AT-3600 series of independently manageable hub/repeater
models. The AT-3600 series also includes “Slave” modules that are not
manageable as standalone devices (the AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS models)
and a bridge module, the AT-3675. The AT-3675 model is shipped with its own
manual and is not considered in this
Network Operations Manual
.
This manual focuses on the independently manageable models, each of which
can serve as the primary management (or “Master”) module for a department
concentrator. These manageable repeaters are pre-configured with a network
management agent and a port for firmware upgrades.
The AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS “Slave” models, however, can be managed
only through a “Master” module housed in the same department concentrator
chassis. In such a department concentrator chassis, the configuration, status
and statistical information of Slave repeaters will appear on the network
management displays and can be manipulated in the same way as the data
from the manageable modules.
This manual refers to two or more chassis-mounted repeaters as a
department
concentrator
. The term
hub
refers to either a standalone repeater or a
department concentrator configuration.
For information on the hardware installation and connectivity aspects of
manageable AT-3600 Series Repeaters, see the separate
CentreCOM 3600
Series Hub/Repeaters Installation Manual
shipped with each repeater.
CentreCOM AT-3600 Series Repeaters
The CentreCOM AT-3600 Series is a set of multiple-port hub/repeaters
designed to offer maximum flexibility and redundancy for both workgroup
and department needs. They are IEEE 802.3 compliant/Ethernet compatible
and support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) with both the
second version of the Management Information Base (MIB II) and Repeater
MIB (also known as Hub MIB).
