Installing Hubs
This section contains two separate procedures for installing TurboStack
Slave hubs:
❑ Standalone installation
❑ Installation in a managed hub configuration in a concentrator
chassis
Installing a standalone repeater
The following procedure details how to install a TurboStack 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 front panel Power and Master indicators
illuminate. If only the power indicator illuminates, the hub will have
no management. You should also note a soft, humming sound made by
the internal hub fans.
3. Plug your data cables into the hub and the network device. The Link
indicator for each connected port will illuminate.
4. If one or more of the ports are transferring data, the Receive indicator
will illuminate.
5. The hub is now ready to function as an unmanaged repeater unit.
Note
If you power up a Slave module in a standalone configuration, its port
activity LEDs continuously illuminate in sequence until either
management software is downloaded from a Master or a device is
connected to one of the ports on the Slave’s front panel.
Installing a module in a chassis
Attention
Improper installation of the chassis can expose personnel to high voltages,
risking the possibility of injury or death.
Attention
The Master unit must be installed in the uppermost slot of a department
concentrator chassis and must be powered up in order to enable
management of all units installed in the chassis slots below the Master.
