CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the

Token Ring Port Switching Media Interface

Modules User’s Guide

. This manual serves as a reference for the

installation and troubleshooting of Cabletron Systems modules

TRXMIM-22A™, TRXMIM-24A™, TRXMIM-42A™, and

TRXMIM-44A™.

The TRXMIM models -22A / -24A / -42A / -44A, shown in Figure

1-1, comprise a family of active UTP/STP concentrators with port

switching capability for Token Ring networks. All four models are

designed for installation into any Cabletron Systems Multi Media

Access Center

(MMAC™) equipped with a Flexible Network Bus

(FNB™). All four TRXMIMs are IEEE 802.5 compliant and IBM

compatible.

1.1 USING THIS MANUAL

Prior to installing and operating the TRXMIM, please read through

this manual completely to become familiar with its contents and

with the features of the TRXMIM. If you are not familiar with port

switching and four-ring FNB applications, please begin by reading

Appendix A,

Introduction to Four-Ring FNB Functionality

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

helpful during installation.

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 installation, and

provides detailed specifications for each TRXMIM model.

Chapter 3,

Installing the TRXMIM

, contains instructions for

installing the TRXMIM into a Multi Media Access Center

(MMAC™) and attaching Token Ring station cabling.

Chapter 4,

Testing and Troubleshooting

, describes diagnostic

checks to assist in the correction of post-installation problems, and

provides detailed descriptions of LANVIEW

, Cabletron Systems’

built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system.

Appendix A,

Introduction to Four-Ring FNB Functionality,

discusses the concepts of port switching and port assignment.

1.2 ABOUT THE TRXMIM FAMILY

The TRXMIM family of concentrator modules provides MMAC

users with a new level of network connectivity. Their port

switching ability (fully described in Section 1.2.2,

Port

Assignments and Port Switching

) expands the number Token

Rings available within an MMAC and enables MMAC users to

switch ring connections between up to six Token Rings, without

changing a single cable connection. TRXMIMs also offer:

• complete compatibility with all Token Ring MIMs,
