Introduction

Installing and Using SPECTRUM Element Manager Guide, Using MMAC+ Remote Management, User’s Guide and SPECTRUM Element Manager Tools Guide.

Chapter 1, Introduction, provides a list of related documentation, describes certain software conventions, and shows you how to contact Cabletron Systems’ Global Call Center. A brief description of the 9A128-01 module is also provided.

Chapter 2, The 9A128-01 Module View, describes the visual display of the 9A128-01 and explains how to use the mouse within the Module View; the operation of several device-level management functions — such as changing the port display, enabling and disabling ports, and setting device date and time— is also described here.

Chapter 4, ATM Configuration, describes how to configure Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) for the ATM interface(s) available on each device’s front panel.

Chapter 5, FDDI Management, describes the Configuration, Connection Policy, Station List, and Performance selections available from the FDDI menu. These windows provide information about each module’s FDDI FNB connections.

Chapter 6, Bridging, provides a comprehensive look at all management options associated with the bridge portion of the 9A128-01, including Bridge Performance Graphs, Spanning Tree, and the Filtering Database.

We assume that you have a general working knowledge of Ethernet, IEEE 802.3, FDDI, ANSI X3T9.5, and ATM Forum type data communications networks and their physical layer components, and that you are familiar with basic bridging and switching concepts.
