TurboStack™ Hub Appliqués
This manual describes the hub appliqué options and installation procedures for
ATI’s TurboStack™ hubs. For information on the software installation and
network management aspects of TurboStack hubs, see the separate TurboStack
Manageable Hub Installation Manual and TurboStack AT-S10 Operations
Manual . These publications are shipped with each manageable hub.
TurboStack Hub Connection Options
In a TurboStack department concentrator chassis, manageable hubs can be
connected to network zones using different cable media by installing different
appliqués or external transceivers.
Note
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 hubs (i.e., a single manageable device) or a department concentrator
configuration.
External Transceivers
The appliqué port on all TurboStack hubs with management are pre-configured
with the AUI appliqué. You can configure the AUI network port to another media
type by using an external transceiver. Table 1 shows the ATI micro transceivers
available for this purpose.
Table 1: ATI Micro Transceivers
Model Description
AT-MX40F/ST Fiber Optic (10BASE-FL), ST Connector
AT-MX50F/SM Fiber Optic (10BASE-FL), SMA Connector
AT-MX55F/SC Fiber Optic (10BASE-FL), SC Connector
AT-210T/210TS/MX20T UTP (10BASE-T), RJ45 Connector
AT-MX10/MX10S Thin Ethernet (10BASE2), BNC Connector

2
If you use an external transceiver for a backbone connection, the transceiver
should be connected to an AUI appliqué on the hub faceplate. Figure 1 shows the
factory-installed AUI connector and plastic cover provided with all TurboStack
hubs.
Figure 1: AUI Network Connector
Network Appliqués
If the network backbone is 10BASE2, 10BASE-T or fiber optic (10BASE-FL), an
appliqué can be used instead of an external transceiver. Table 2 lists the available
TurboStack appliqué options.

Location of Appliqué Port
In a TurboStack department concentrator chassis, manageable hubs can be
connected to network zones using different cable media by installing different
appliqués.
To install or remove an appliqué, find the TurboStack hub appliqué port. As shown
inFigure 2,thisportislocateddirectlytotheleftoftheRS232terminalportonthe
module faceplate (in this case an AT-TS06F/SC model hub).
Figure 2: AT-TS06F/SC Faceplate

Network Appliqué Options
Optional appliqués are available for connection with fiber optic (ST, SC, or SM),
thinnet (BNC) or UTP (RJ45) cabling, in addition to the AUI interface. Figure 3
shows the different appliqué faceplates available.
Figure 3: AT-TSAx Appliqués
Note
It is advisable to turn off the power since you will be removing screws and
inserting metal parts into the appliqué slot.
Appliqué Installation/Removal Procedures
Appliqués attach to an TurboStack hub on the front panel. Specific installation
procedures are described below.
To remove an AUI appliqué
1. Snap off the plastic cover plate on the AUI connector.
2. Remove the AUI appliqué screws and pop it out, as shown in Figure 4.
Note
Do not unscrew the AUI slide kit screws that secure the AUI connector to the
appliqué until the appliqué pops out. The washers and nuts on the back of the slide
kit may fall iniside the hub module and will be difficult to retrieve.

3. Detach the AUI connector from the plate by removing the slide kit screws,
washers, and nuts.
4. Carefully pull the AUI connector from the hub faceplate to expose the ribbon
cable as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Appliqué Replacement
5. Remove the plate from the ribbon cable by rotating the cable 90 ° and sliding it
through the slot in the plate.
To install a 10BASE2, 10BASE-T or fiber Optic (10BASE-FL)
appliqué
1. Plug the new appliqué into the AUI connector, after the connector has been
detached from the plate (Step 3 above).
2. Secure the new appliqué with the appliqué screws.
3. Slide the appliqué into the port cavity and screw it down. Do not overtighten.
4. Snap the plastic cover plate back in place on the hub faceplate.
To remove a 10BASE2, 10BASE-T or fiber Optic (10BASEFL)
appliqué
1. Snap off the plastic cover plate on the installed appliqué.
2. Remove the appliqué screws and pull out the appliqué.
3. Follow the steps for appliqué removal detailed above.

6
To install an AUI appliqué
1. Using the supplied screws, lock washers, and nuts, attach the AUI appliqué
mounting plate and locking bracket to the AUI connector.
2. Using the supplied appliqué screws (shown in Figure 1 above), attach the AUI
appliqué to the hub faceplate.
3. Snap the AT-TSA5 (AUI) plastic cover plate in place on the hub faceplate.
Note
Loose metal parts can cause damage to exposed circuit boards and components.
Handle parts and any required tools with care during installation.
