INTRODUCTION

Token Ring to be used with the 7F06-02 Module. These modules

provide the capability to share data without the use of external

bridges or routers.

The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is a unique module that can be

installed in an MMAC Series chassis. The 7C04 Workgroup

SmartSwitch and the 7C04-R Workgroup SmartSwitch are stand-

alone chassis that provide the same functions.

1.3 FEATURES

The 7F06-02 Module provides two FDDI ports via front panel

FPIMs. The 7F06-02 Module includes the following features:

1.3.1 FPIMs

The front panel connections are standard Cabletron FPIMs. These

FPIMs allow the use of single mode or multimode ﬁber cable with

MIC or SC type connectors.

1.3.2 LANVIEW LEDs

The 7F06-02 uses LANVIEW, Cabletron Systems built-in visual

diagnostic and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs,

you can quickly identify, at a glance, the status of the device

connected to a port on the 7F06-02 Module.

1.3.3 Connectivity

The 7F06-02 Module has one backplane connection and two sets of

A/B front panel FPIM connections. The backplane connection

provides power to the 7F06-02 Module and a channel for

communication with the 7X00 SmartSwitch Control Module. The

two front panel FPIMs provide FDDI connections, allowing the use

of single mode or multimode ﬁber cable with MIC or SC type

connectors.
