Description Allied Telesyn's 3600 Family provides an affordable managed stackable hub solutions which is easy to use and truly scalable. The AT-3606F hub serves as a single building block for both standalone and chassis configurations. This allows networks to be easily built and reconfigured at minimum expense. Each AT-3606F comes with six 10Base-FL ports (ST or SC) plus a modular port (pre-configured with AUI appliques) that provides backbone or inter-repeater connectivity through multiple types of cable media. Optional backbone appliques include support for Unshielded Twisted Pair (10Base-FL) and Thinnet (10Base-2.) The AT-3606F is fully self-contained with internal universal power supply, advanced IEEE 802.3/Ethernet repeater functionality, diagnostic LED support and comprehensive network management capabilities. For maximum functionality and reliability, it is based on an Allied Telesyn-developed ASIC. All 3600 Series managed hubs are standard-equipped with three types of network management agents. For inexpensive local management, Allied Telesyn network management support is provided through an ASYNC terminal port (Omega Local.) An Omega Remote agent is also included. This network management interface is utilized in an in-band fashion through a Telnet session. Out-of-band connection to any remote hub is provided through Omega Local. In addition, the AT-3606F supports industry standard SNMP network management stations through the SNMP agent. A single department concentrator with up to 48 ports can be configured when up to eight AT-3606F hubs are mounted into a 3600 chassis system. In this configuration, the AT-3606F hubs take on different personalities. The unit in slot one becomes the SNMP Master unit, slot two provides the SNMP Backup unit and the remaining slots create SNMP Slave units. Through this process, maximum network reliability is provided should the SNMP Master unit fail. Any of the units, can be hot-swapped for fault tracing or reconfiguration of the concentrator without network downtime.
