In a standalone configuration, you may use this port to connect the hub to
the network. In a managed hub, the Master’s AUI port may be used for the
network connection. In a non-managed hub configuration, if you are using
a two- or three-slot chassis, one AUI port is used for the network
connection and the remaining AUI port(s) may be used for station
connections. Table 2 shows the ATI micro-transceivers available for this
purpose.

Station Ports
For wiring flexibility, ATI offers 10BASE-T hubs with both individual port
connectors and composite connectors for 25-pair cable. The AT-3624TRS
has 24 shielded RJ45 connectors for UTP cable. The AT-3624TS has two
50-pin Telco (RJ21) connectors. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 in this manual
provide more detailed information about each model’s station ports.
Back Panel
Features
The AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS have the same back panel layout and
features, including:
❑
Interrepeater bus connector that attaches the AT-3600 module to
the backplane bus in a concentrator chassis.
❑
Status indicators providing information on the hub as a whole; for
convenience, these LEDs appear on both the front and back panels.
❑
AUI port.
LED Displays
AT-3600 Series slave modules have two types of LED displays:
❑
Hub status indicators show the overall condition of the module.
❑
Port indicators show the condition of each port connection. They
vary with module type; later chapters of this manual give specifics.
