Introduction

, describes BRIM-E6 features, lists

speciﬁcations, and concludes with a list of related manuals.

Chapter 2,

Installation

, describes how to install the BRIM-E6 into a

Media Interface Module (MIM) or a stand-alone product. This chapter

also explains how to install an Ethernet Port Interface Module (EPIM)

into the BRIM.

Chapter 3,

Connecting to the Network

, explains how to connect network

segments to the EPIM.

Chapter 4,

Using the LANVIEW LEDS

, describes how to use the

BRIM-E6 LEDs to monitor BRIM performance and status.

Appendix A,

1.3 BRIM-E6 OVERVIEW

The BRIM-E6 extends the functionality of your individual MIM or

stand-alone hub to include Ethernet bridging capability. The BRIM-E6

has one user-conﬁgurable Ethernet Port Interface Module (EPIM)

interface. Cabletron Systems offers a variety of EPIMs that support

connections for Unshielded Twisted Pair, Shielded Twisted Pair,

Multimode Fiber Optic, Single Mode Fiber Optic, AUI, or Thin Coaxial

cable.

1.4 BRIM-E6 FEATURES

Ethernet Bridging

The BRIM-E6 adds an Ethernet bridged connection to any Cabletron

device with a BRIM expansion port. Refer to section 1.6 for more

information about Ethernet bridging.

MIB Support

For information on how to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact

Cabletron Systems Technical Support (see

Getting Help

LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs

Cabletron equips the BRIM-E6 with a visual diagnostic and monitoring

system called LANVIEW. LANVIEW LEDs help you quickly identify

Bridge and Link status.
