INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the

TRFMIM Token Ring Fiber Media Interface

Modules Installation Guide

. This manual serves as a reference for

installing and troubleshooting Cabletron Systems TRFMIM-22™,

TRFMIM-26™, and TRFMIM-28™.

The TRFMIM is a fiber optic token ring concentrator module for use

in the Cabletron MMACs. These concentrators are designed in

compliance with the IEEE 802.5J token ring fiber optic standard.

Available with six, twelve or eighteen ports, the TRFMIM provides

connectivity over multimode fiber optic cable.

Note:

The term

Concentrator Module

is used throughout this manual

when describing features and functions that are common to the

TRFMIM-22, TRFMIM-26, and TRFMIM-28. The terms TRFMIM-22,

TRFMIM-26, and TRFMIM-28 are used when it is necessary to describe

features that are unique to any device.

1.1 USING THIS MANUAL

Prior to installing and operating your concentrator module, read

through this manual completely to familiarize yourself with its

contents and to gain an understanding of the features of the

concentrator module.

A general working knowledge of Token Ring (IEEE 802.5) networks

will be helpful when installing your concentrator module.

Chapter 1,

Introduction

, describes how to use this document,

provides an overview of the features and capabilities of each

concentrator module, and concludes with a list of related manuals.

Chapter 2,

Installation Requirements/Specifications

, lists the

network requirements that must be met before you begin installing

INTRODUCTION

1-2

your concentrator module. Detailed specifications for each of the

concentrator modules is also provided.

Chapter 3,

Installing the Concentrator Module

, contains

instructions for installing a concentrator module into the MMAC,

and attaching token ring station cabling.

Chapter 4,

Testing and Troubleshooting

, describes checks that you

can perform if you encounter problems after installing a

concentrator module. Instructions for using LANVIEW®,

Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring

system, are also included.

1.2 THE TRFMIM CONCENTRATOR MODULES

The TRFMIM-22, TRFMIM-26, and TRFMIM-28, shown in

Figure 1-1, can be installed as a free-standing token ring network or

to provide fiber optic connectivity to an existing token ring

network. The concentrator modules are designed for installation

into a Cabletron Systems MMAC. Since they do not have externally

accessible Ring-In and Ring-Out ports, they are considered

concentrator modules. (A concentrator in token ring applications is

defined as a device with multiple TCU ports bound by externally

accessible Ring-In and Ring-Out ports.)

All concentrator modules are designed for installation into a

Cabletron Systems MMAC, where they can be used to create an

independent 6, 12, or 18 port ring or to expand an existing token

ring network. When any concentrator module is used within an

MMAC, the concentrator module is connected via the Flexible

Network Bus (FNB) to other token ring MIMs, repeaters, or bridges.

INTRODUCTION

1-4

Features of the concentrator module include:

Number of Connections

• TRFMIM-22 12 - fiber optic ports

• TRFMIM-26 6 - fiber optic ports

• TRFMIM-28 18 - fiber optic ports

Multiple concentrator modules can be installed into an MMAC to

increase the number of ports available on a token ring network.

Speed Fault Protection

If a station attempts to insert into the ring at a ring speed (4 or 16

Mb/s) different from what is set on the TRFMIM, that port is

automatically disabled to prevent the ring from beaconing. The

INS

LED flashes red indicating the port with the speed fault is

disabled.

Multiple Concentrator Modules

Several concentrator modules can be installed into a single MMAC

and configured as independent rings or linked together into a

single ring network thru the FNB. Configuration guidelines can be

found in Chapter 3,

Installing the Concentrator Module

The TRMM (Token Ring Management Module) is used to manage

the TRFMIM. A variety of network management tools can be used

to control and monitor TRFMIMs (via the TRMM), including

Cabletron Systems Local Management, Remote LANVIEW/

Windows®, and SPECTRUM®.

LANVIEW LEDs

Several LEDs, on the front panel of the concentrator module, are

used to indicate the ring speed, presence of a network error, status,

and management statistics for each of the TCU ports. LANVIEW is

an effective tool to help you quickly diagnose your physical layer

network problems.
