Overview
2
The TurboStack department concentrator chassis can be configured to
connect hubs across a standard (or non-segmented) backplane. In this
configuration, a fully populated department concentrator comprising eight
hubs behaves as a single hub in the network topology. This enables you to
build and reconfigure networks easily, efficiently, and at minimum
expense.
Note
For a detailed explanation of ATI’s TurboStack chassis/backplane
offerings, refer to the
TurboStack™ Chassis and Backplanes Installation
Manual.
This manual describes the physical features and installation
procedures for the chassis models.

Features
TurboStack hubs are based on ATI’s proprietary Application-Specific
Integrated Circuit (ASIC) developed for maximum functionality and
reliability. Figure 1 shows a sample TurboStack hub faceplate, in this case
a Model AT-TS12TR.
Each TurboStack hub with management capability is self-contained and
provides the following standard features regardless of the media type or
number of ports:
❑
Internal universal power supply
❑
IEEE 802.3 compliance; Ethernet Version 1.0 and 2.0 compatible
hub functionality
❑
Appliqué port supports optional transceiver modules for backbone
or interhub connectivity:
— Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) (10BASE-T); RJ45
— Thinnet (10BASE2)
— Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) (10BASE5)
— Fiber optic( 10BASE-FL); SM, SC, or ST
❑
Placement options include standalone, 19-inch rack mount or
chassis mount
