The EMM-E6 (Ethernet Management Module for Ethernet with six ports) provides intelligence for Cabletron Systems’ Multi-Media Access Center (MMAC) hubs. The EMM-E6 is designed to work with the repeater MIM family of media interface modules (FORMIM, CXRMIM, TPRMIM, and TPXMIM) to take full advantage of the MMAC Flexible Network Bus (FNB). The EMM-E6 uses the dedicated Ethernet channel (channel A) on the MMAC backplane and creates two more Ethernet channels (B and C) using the FNB, then bridges among these three interfaces, as well as a fourth channel (D) provided by a set of redundant EPIM ports located on its front panel. Fifth and sixth channels are provided by optional BRIM modules, also installed on the front panel, which support cross-platform bridging and routing. The EMM-E6 also provides management and serves as a repeater for older MIMs that are not part of the repeater MIM family.

NOTE

Although the Hub View window displays the presence and general status (on or off) of any installed BRIM modules, you cannot perform any management of BRIM ports from the Hub View application. The functions associated with any BRIM modules installed in your EMM-E6 can be conﬁgured and managed via the SPMA BRIM Launcher application; the BRIM Launcher is described in the SPMA BRIM User’s Guide.

Using the EMM-E6 User’s Guide

Your SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the EMM-E6 consists of a number of different applications, each of which provides a portion of the overall management functionality. Each of these applications can be accessed from the icon menu (if you are using a management platform) and from the
