Overview
This manual describes the hardware features and installation procedures
for Allied Telesyn International (ATI)’s set of independently manageable
hub models in the AT-3600 Series.
The AT-3600 Series also includes “Slave” modules that are not
manageable as standalone devices (the AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS
models). These devices have their own manual and are not described here.
For information on the software installation and network management
aspects of AT-3600 Series hubs, see the separate
CentreCOM 3600 Series
and AT-S4 Firmware Module Network Operations Manual
shipped with
each manageable hub.
CentreCOM AT-3600 Series Hubs
CentreCOM AT-3600 Series multiple-port hubs offer maximum flexibility
and redundancy for both workgroup and 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).

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 manageable AT-3600 Series hub is a single building block for both
standalone (hub) 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.

Features
AT-3600 Series hubs are based on an Application-Specific Integrated
Circuit (ASIC) ATI developed for maximum functionality and reliability.
Figure 1 shows a sample AT-3600 Series hub faceplate, in this case a
Model AT-3612TR.
Each manageable AT-3600 Series hub 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
An Appliqué port supports optional transceiver modules for
backbone or interrepeater connectivity:
— Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) (10BASE-T)
— Thinnet (10BASE2)
— Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) (10BASE5)
— Fiber Optic (10BASE-FL)
Placement options include a standalone 19-inch rack or chassis
mount
Three types of network management capability:
— SNMP
— Via ASYNC ASCII terminal port (Omega)
— Telnet (Omega)
Software upgrade through firmware cassette or in-band
downloading
Hot swapping of modules in chassis

Connectivity
Table 1 shows the various models of manageable AT-3600 Series hubs. You
can mix any combination of model types in a department concentrator
chassis for maximum flexibility. Subsequent chapters of this manual
describe the individual model types in detail, including faceplate design,
connection type and LED displays.

Wiring Configuration
Rules
Depending on the medium you choose, there are certain wiring practices
you should follow to ensure the reliability of communication throughout
the network. The AT-3600 Series complies with IEEE standards for 802.3
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
Ethernet. You should refer to these standards when implementing your
network. Some important guidelines for ensuring integrity in network
wiring appear in later chapters of this manual, as appropriate for the
medium type.
Chassis Configuration
You can use a single manageable AT-3600 Series hub in standalone mode
or as part of a department concentrator housed in a chassis. Various
chassis models are available for desktop or rackmount configurations.
These include 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 7-, and 8-module combinations for desktop or
19-inch rackmount installations with either standard or segmented
backplanes. Call your ATI sales representative for details.

Overview
4
You can configure up to eight AT-3600 Series hubs in a rackmount chassis.
When fully populated with AT-3624T and AT-3624TR hubs, the chassis
creates a single department concentrator with up to 200 ports (8 modules
with 24 network ports each, plus 8 AUI ports).
Figure 2 shows a sample department concentrator using an 8-slot chassis.
You can mount any combination of the following hub models in the same
department concentrator chassis: AT-3606F; AT-3606F/SMA; AT-3606F/
ST, SC, SM; AT-3608; AT-3612T; AT-3612TR; AT-3624T; AT-3624TR;
AT-3624TS; and AT-3624TRS.
Network management software will view the concentrator as a single
logical device. In this configuration the modules perform different
functions:
The top module becomes the
Master
. It downloads software to, and
serves as, the reporting unit for other units in the concentrator. It
also controls management functions.
The module in the slot directly below the Master becomes the
Backup
. It assumes management functions if the Master fails.
All other modules function as
Slaves
. They report management
information to the Master but do not perform any control functions.
Each chassis must contain at least one manageable hub module to enable
network management. This module must occupy the uppermost slot in the
chassis. Because the uppermost manageable hub performs all
management reporting activities, it is referred to as the
Master
. The other
AT-3600 modules in the same chassis (except any Backup module that
may be installed) are called
Slaves
.

Chassis slots are numbered from 1 (top) through 8 (bottom). The Master is
defined as the module in the lowest-numbered (physically topmost)
occupied slot position. Typically this is slot 1, but it could be slot 2 if slot 1
is vacant.
A second manageable AT-3600 module may be installed in the slot directly
below the Master to serve as a Backup management unit. This special
module always occupies the next higher-numbered slot position below the
Master so it can immediately take over the Master’s functions if necessary.
Slave modules (AT-3624TS and AT-3624TRS) may occupy any other
higher-numbered slot position in the chassis—they do not need to be
adjacent or contiguous. (In other words, Slave units may be separated by
empty chassis slots.)
Network Management Planning
Before installing and connecting manageable AT-3600 Series hubs at
various site locations (such as in closets in a single building or in closets
on different floors or in different buildings), you need to decide on the
number of hubs in your network and where each hub is to be located. This
advanced planning will facilitate the assignment of hub names, MAC and/
or IP addresses. It will also maximize the efficiency of network
management once your hubs are fully installed and operational.
MAC Address All “intelligent” ATI hubs (those with management capabilities) require a
unique 6-byte (12-digit) Media Access Control (MAC) address which
includes a 3-byte (6-digit) company identification number.
The MAC address is a unique number assigned to the nodes using the
network. The MAC address is used to resolve conflict when multiple
computers are trying to access the network simultaneously. This IEEE
physical storage location address resides in the MAC PROM and is
accessed through an ASCII terminal.
In order to make this address easily accessible and externally visible, a
MAC address label will be affixed on all products within the proximate
location of the RS232, BNC or AUI port.
The example shown in Figure 3 is a MAC address label placed above a
RS232 port on an AT-3612T hub.
Overview
6
Central-Site
Connection
To enable central-site connection and network management, every hub in
a TCP network must have an installed TCP/IP address. You can install a
TCP/IP address either by connecting to the serial port of a hub and
bringing up the Omega local management program or by using a Bootp
server.
The “Network parameters” option (n) in the Omega Administration menu
allows you to configure IP and SNMP information for the hubs in a TCP/IP
network. This menu leads you through a series of configuration screens
detailed in the CentreCOM 3600 Series and AT-S4 Firmware Module
Network Operations Manual.
Upgrading
Software
The AT-3600 agent software is easy to upgrade through the firmware
cassette port. As illustrated in Figure 1, this port is located on the back
panel of every AT-3600 Series module with management capability. When
you insert an optional AT-S4 firmware cassette into this port, the new
firmware is copied to the hub’s onboard non-volatile flash memory at
power-up.
Once you have upgraded one hub through the firmware cassette, you can
use Omega’s built-in downloading capability to upgrade any AT-3600
Series hub over the network from any other AT-3600 unit. In addition, the
on-line Bulletin Board System (BBS) maintained by ATI Technical
Support offers software updates for download via the SNMP utilities
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) and Boot Protocol (BootP).
Further Information
For more detailed information about AT-S4 capabilities and installation,
refer to the CentreCOM 3600 Series and AT-S4 Firmware Module Network
Operations Manual.

Before installing AT-3600 Series hubs, read the safety installation
requirements starting on page i.
Location A manageable AT-3600 Series hub can operate as a standalone product,
installed in a chassis, in a 19-inch rack, or on a desk top. You can combine
multiple hubs in an ATI chassis.
Ventilation The site must have adequate ventilation to provide an operating
environment consistent with AT-3600 Series specifications. Chassis
mounting requires 191 mm (7.5 in.) ventilation clearance on all sides.
AT-3600 Series hubs have internal fans to aid in cooling. For the fans to
function correctly, you must not block the ventilation openings located on
the sides of the chassis.

Maximum ambient temperature is 40o C with a department concentrator
chassis.
Power Power connections for each unit should be able to provide 50 watts at
120 VAC for U.S.A. versions. It is customary to use dedicated power
circuits or power conditioners to supply power to the network devices. This
helps isolate the network equipment from electrical power “noise.
Installing Hubs
This section contains two separate procedures for installing manageable
AT-3600 Series hubs:
Standalone installation
Installation in a managed hub configuration in a concentrator
chassis

Installing a standalone hub
Use the following procedure to install an AT-3600 Series hub in a
standalone configuration:
1. Plug one end of the power cord into the hub’s power receptacle and the
other end into a power outlet.
2. Check to see that the Power and Master indicators illuminate.
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-3606F, AT-3606F/SMA, and AT-3608).
If one or more of the ports are transferring data, the Receive
indicator will also illuminate.
The hub is now ready to be managed.

Improper installation of the chassis can expose personnel to high voltages,
risking the possibility of injury or death.

Improper installation may expose the hubs to debris and block vents,
causing damage because of insufficient cooling.

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.
1. Check to be sure another module is already functioning as the Master
unit in the chassis.
