AT-810SL Multiport Transceiver Fanout User Manual

Mode of Operation

An AT-810LS Multiport Transceiver Fanout can connect up to eight (8) Data

Terminal Equipment (DTE) workstations in either of one, or two, push button,

switch-selectable, modes of operation: Local or Remote.

❑ In “Local” mode of operation the AT-810SL functions as a standalone

workgroup hub. With this switch, you can choose to segment the

attached nodes from the main network while, at the same time,

allowing local communications between workstations.

❑ In “Remote” mode of operation, a transceiver can connect to the station

AUI port using an AUI cable up to 50 meters (164 ft.) in length.

Alternatively, you can fit an Allied Telesyn 802.3 fiber optic

transceiver into this station AUI port if desired.

In “Remote” mode, the AT-810SL can also either link multiple users to

the backbone or cascade users to another AT-810SL. Further, in

“Remote” mode, the transceiver’s electrical characteristics pass

transparently through the multiport transceiver fanouts to the

attached nodes as if each node were attached with its own transceiver.

Status LEDs

The AT-810SL has front panel status and diagnostic indicators that provide

“On Line” and “Transmit” status for each port. Packet “Receive” and

“Collision” indicators are available for all Transceiver Ports as well as the

Station Port.

Note

Please note that a complete discussion of each LED is provided in

Chapter 3.

The front panel “System Power” LED illuminates when AC power is applied to

the AT-810SL fanout itself.
