Chassis Configuration
Commonly called “Slave” hubs because of their dependence on a “Master”
repeater for management, the AT-TS12FS/ST, SC, SM; AT-TS24TRS; and
AT-TS24TS models can function in any of the following four
configurations:
❑ As a standalone repeating device without management: A
standalone Slave hub performs simple regeneration and retiming
tasks in a variety of network configurations. This configuration can
use the hub’s AUI port to connect to a network backbone.
❑ As a hub module in a chassis: Up to 8 Slave modules can be
mounted in a single 8-slot chassis with standard backplane to act
collectively as a single logical hub without a Master.
❑ As a managed module in a department concentrator chassis with
standard backplane and a Master.
❑ As a managed module in a department concentrator chassis with
segmented backplane and a Master.
You can use a single Slave in standalone mode or as part of a department
concentrator housed in a chassis. Each department concentrator chassis
must contain at least one management-capable hub module, or Master, to
enable network management. This module must occupy the uppermost
slot in the chassis because it performs all management reporting
activities.

Options
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 standard or
segmented backplanes.
You can combine TurboStack and AT-3600 Series Slaves in the same
department concentrator when running AT-S4 firmware. In this hybrid
configuration, however, the management features of the TurboStack hubs
running AT-S10 firmware do not apply. To benefit from the full range of
TurboStack features, you must install only TurboStack hubs in the same
department concentrator.
