AT-3624TS/AT-3624TRS Repeaters
3
Each manageable AT-3600 Series hub is a single building block for both
standalone (repeater) and chassis (department concentrator)
configurations. ATI supplies desktop and rackmount department
concentrator chassis that can hold up to eight AT-3600 Series hubs. Since
the department concentrator chassis connects hub modules across a
backplane, a fully populated department concentrator behaves as a single
hub in the network topology. This enables you to build and reconfigure
networks easily, efficiently and at minimum expense.
AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS hubs include the following features:
❑
Comprehensive network-management-agent capabilities,
including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), when
configured with a Master in a department concentrator.
❑
Proprietary Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that
provide repeating and network analog interface for Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP).
❑
24 10BASE-T ports using 24 RJ45 connectors (front panel) on the
AT-3624TRS.
❑
24 10BASE-T ports using two 50-pin Telco connectors (front panel)
on the AT-3624TS.
❑
One Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) port (back panel).
❑
One backplane connector containing an interrepeater bus.
❑
An internal universal power supply.
❑
Advanced IEEE 802.3/Ethernet hub functionality.
❑
Diagnostic light-emitting diode (LED) support.
❑
Capability to connect to a network backbone through a transceiver.
Configurations
Commonly called
Slave
hubs because of their dependence on a
Master
hub
for management,
the AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS hubs can function in
any of the following three configurations:
❑
As a standalone hub: A
standalone
hub performs simple
regeneration and retiming tasks in a variety of network
configurations.
❑
As a hub module in an ATI 3600 series chassis: When installed in
an ATI
3600 series chassis
up to eight modules can collectively act
as a single logical hub without a Master.
❑
As a managed module with a Master in a chassis: For the
AT-3624TS or AT-3624TRS to be managed, it must be included in
a department concentrator with a Master. The hub modules are
linked to the Master through interrepeater bus ports connected
with a standard chassis backplane. This is a
managed module
configuration.
