Connectivity
Table 1 shows the various models of manageable AT-3600 Series hubs. You
can mix any combination of model types in a department concentrator
chassis for maximum flexibility. Subsequent chapters of this manual
describe the individual model types in detail, including faceplate design,
connection type and LED displays.

Wiring Configuration
Rules
Depending on the medium you choose, there are certain wiring practices
you should follow to ensure the reliability of communication throughout
the network. The AT-3600 Series complies with IEEE standards for 802.3
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
Ethernet. You should refer to these standards when implementing your
network. Some important guidelines for ensuring integrity in network
wiring appear in later chapters of this manual, as appropriate for the
medium type.
Chassis Configuration
You can use a single manageable AT-3600 Series hub in standalone mode
or as part of a department concentrator housed in a chassis. Various
chassis models are available for desktop or rackmount configurations.
These include 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 7-, and 8-module combinations for desktop or
19-inch rackmount installations with either standard or segmented
backplanes. Call your ATI sales representative for details.
