INTRODUCTION

can be connected directly to the module. Each of these segments supports one device.

The entire THN-MIM or each port on the MIM can be controlled via the IRM in your MMAC. The IRM can be accessed directly through a console port on the front panel or be controlled and managed in-band using Cabletron Systems Remote LANVIEW/Windows, SPECTRUM®, or SNMP compliant network control management software.

Each port on the THN-MIM has two LANVIEW® LEDs, the Port OK (POK) LED and the Receive (RCV) LED. The POK LED remains lit as long as the port is connected to the network. If a port is segmented from the network, the LED will not be lit. The RCV LED will be lit when activity is detected on the segment. These LEDs help diagnose physical layer problems as they arise.

1.2USING THIS MANUAL

This manual provides instructions on installing the THN-MIM into the MMAC, attaching coaxial segments to the MIM, and testing those segments after they have been attached to the MIM.

This manual assumes that the user has a general working knowledge of Ethernet, and of IEEE 802.3 type data communications networks and their physical layer components.
