AT-S16 Port

Conﬁguration

Screen

The Port Conﬁguration Menu for the AT-S16 follows. It is identical to the

AT-S13 screen except for the Interface feature. In this case, port #1 was

selected.

Interface Autosense. Only one connection at a time may be made to any

port in the AT-TS95TR switch. The ﬁrst six ports (ports 1 through 6) have

two possible connections: front Panel and Segmented Backplane. This

potential conﬂict is resolved with Interface Autosense logic.

NOTE

10Base-T ports 7 and 8 are not connected to the Segmented Backplane.

Therefore, they are not affected by the Interface Autosense setting. You may

only make connection to these ports through their front panel RJ-45

connectors

Front Panel if Link Online. The default state, “Front Panel if Link Online,”

means the unit is connected to other units installed in the TurboStack via the

segmented backplane — unless there is also a connection to the AT-TS95TR

switch via the front panel RJ-45 connector. If there is a front panel

connection, the connection made via the front panel takes over the port and

any connection to the port via the TurboStack’s Segmented Backplane is

disconnected.

Backplane if Slot Occupied. This option reverses the logic such that the

connections through the segmented backplane take precedence. Inserting a

unit into the segmented backplane make connections to the port

corresponding to the slot accessible only via the segmented backplane and

disconnect any connections made via the front panel to the corresponding

front panel connection.
