Enterasys Networks MicroMMAC-T manual Setting the Device Date and Time

The MicroMMAC-T Chassis View

If you are attaching a ring port on a module that supports autowrap to a ring port on an older device that does not (or to a third party device that supports its own proprietary autowrap feature), you must disable the phantom current on the module that supports autowrap for the connection to be valid. Remember though, once you have disabled the phantom current, the autowrap feature will not be supported; if the cable connecting those two ports breaks, the entire ring will go down— and stay down — until the broken cable is identified and either repaired or disconnected from both ring ports.

If you are attaching a device that does not support autowrap (e.g., an older TRMIM-10R or 20R or a TRC800 passive concentrator) to a module that supports autowrap, you must disable the phantom current to the module that supports autowrap for the connection to be valid. Remember though, once you have disabled the phantom current, the autowrap feature will not be supported if the ring breaks.
