Chapter 1
Overview
This manual describes the hardware features and installation procedures
for ATI’s set of independently manageable TurboStack™ (TS) hubs. The
TurboStack family also includes “Slave” modules that are not manageable
as standalone devices (the AT-TS12FS/SM, ST, SC; AT-TS24TS; and
AT-TS24TRS models). These devices have their own manual and are not
described here. For information on the software installation and network
management aspects of TurboStack hubs, see the separate
TurboStack™
AT-S10 Firmware Module For TurboStack Hubs Operations Manual
shipped with each manageable hub.
TurboStack Hubs
TurboStack multiple-port hubs offer maximum flexibility and redundancy
for department needs. They are IEEE 802.3 compliant/Ethernet
compatible and support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
with both the second version of the Management Information Base
(MIB-II) and hub MIB (also known as Hub MIB).
Note
This manual refers to two or more chassis-mounted hubs, at least one of
which is manageable, as a
department concentrator. The term hub refers to
either a standalone hub (i.e., a single manageable hub) or a department
concentrator configuration.
Each hub is manageable by the Master as a single building block for
TurboStack chassis ((department concentrator) configurations with
(segmented backplanes. Allied Telesyn International (ATI) supplies a
rackmount department concentrator chassis that can hold up to six hubs
in combination with either the AT-TS90TR or the AT-TS95TR switch
module in the bottom slot of the chassis. Installation of a switch module is
optional and requires use of a segmented backplane instead of the
standard backplane used for non-segmented hubs.
