1.3 TRXI OVERVIEW

The TRXI stand-alone concentrator provides Trunk Coupling Units

(TCUs) for Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) or Unshielded Twisted Pair

(UTP) network lobe connections.The TRXI-22, 24, 42, and 44 are

functionally identical with the exception of the TCU lobe ports.

Cabletron offers the following TRXI conﬁgurations:

•

TRXI-22

,twelve RJ45TCU lobe ports that support category 3,

4, and 5 UTP cabling.

•

TRXI-24

, twenty-four RJ45 TCU lobe ports that support

category 3, 4, and 5 UTP cabling.

•

TRXI-42

, twelve RJ45 TCU lobe ports that support IBM Type

1, 2, 6, or 9 STP cabling.

•

TRXI-44

, twenty-four RJ45 TCU lobe ports that support IBM

Type 1, 2, 6, or 9 STP cabling.

INTRODUCTION

Page 1-3

You can upgrade the TRXI-22 and TRXI-42 to twenty-four ports using

a twelve port upgrade kit available from Cabletron Systems

(Cabletron Part Number TRXI-24-UGKIT or TRXI-44-UGKIT).

The TRXI provides two additional ports for Ring In and Ring Out

connections.These ports support Cabletron’s Token Ring Port

Interface Modules (TPIMs).TPIMs provide full repeater functionality.

They are not included with the TRXI, but can be ordered separately

from Cabletron.Table 1-2 lists each TPIM.

1.4 TRXI FEATURES

Local Management

Local Management provides the tools to manage the TRXI and all of

its attached segments.You access Local Management by connecting a

Digital Equipment Corporation VT™ 320 series terminal or a PC

using VT320 emulation software to the TRXI’s COM 1 port.

LCD and Reset Button

The LCD provides status information about the TRXI such as power

up diagnostics, revision levels, serial numbers, and error alerts.The

TRXI also has a Reset Button to initialize the processor. Both the LCD

and the Reset Button are located on the front panel of the TRXI.

Ring Speed Switch

The Ring Speed Switch lets you select ring speeds of either 4 Mbps or

16 Mbps.The factory default setting is 16 Mbps.

LANVIEW LEDs

Cabletron Systems’ LANVIEW LED Status Monitoring and

Diagnostics System is a convenient troubleshooting tool that helps you

diagnose power failures, RI/RO status, cable faults, ring speed, link

problems, and network activity.

COM Port Applications

The front panel COM 1 port supports Local Management applications.

Future capabilities for TRXI’s serial ports include an SNMP proxy for

Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), the Serial Line Internet

Protocol (SLIP), and Modem.

INTRODUCTION

RMON MIB Support

The TRXI supports the RMON MIB RFC 1271/1513 Token Ring

Extensions shown in Table 1-1.

Token Ring Port Interface Modules (TPIMs)

TPIMs are optional features that let you expand your trunk

connections using different media types.TPIMs have embedded

repeaters and retime all data. Cabletron offers a variety of TPIMs for

trunk Ring In or Ring Out connections.Table 1-2 lists each TPIM.
