Installing Hubs
This section contains two separate procedures for installing manageable
TurboStack hubs:
❑
Standalone installation
❑
Installation in a chassis
Installing a standalone hub
The following procedure details how to install a TurboStack hub in a
standalone configuration:
1.
Plug one end of the power cord into the repeater’s power receptacle and
the other end into a power outlet.
2.
Check to see that the Power and Master indicators illuminate. If only
the Power indicator illuminates, the hub will have no management.
You will also hear a soft, humming sound caused by the internal fans
in the unit.
3.
Plug your data cables into the hub and the network device. The Link
indicator for each connected port will illuminate (except on the
AT-TS08).
4.
If one or more of the ports are transferring data, the Receive indicator
will illuminate.
5.
The hub is now ready to be managed.
Installing a hub module in a chassis
The following procedure details how to install a TurboStack hub in a
chassis. This procedure is based on the assumption that another module in
the chassis is already functioning as the Master unit. The Master unit
must be installed in the uppermost slot. In powering up multiple hubs
installed in a chassis, always start with the Master unit.
Attention
When installing multiple ATI hubs in a chassis with power, setting the
chassis voltage switch too high (at 240V when 120V is required) will cause
overheating of the fans. Setting the voltage too low (at 120V when 240V is
required) will reduce the effectiveness of the fans and thus cause
overheating of the installed hub modules. Check the specific chassis model
to determine the correct voltage setting.
Attention
You should always quit the Omega management program at the end of
each session. Otherwise, you might encounter such problems as not being
able to exchange management hubs in a chassis.
Note
If you need to reinstall or update the network management software in a
hub module, refer to the
TurboStack™ AT-S10 Firmware Module for
TurboStack Hubs Operations Manual.
