Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 manual Pre-Installation Test

Pre-Installation Test

Once the EMM-E6 resets, you can either use the defaults or re-enter your own parameters. The EMM-E6 stores these parameters in NVRAM when the device powers down. These parameters remain in NVRAM until the state of the switch changes again.

NOTE

Do not change the state of Switch 7 unless you intend to reset the EMM-E6 user parameters to the factory default settings.

•Switch 8: Password Defaults. Changing the state of this switch (i.e., moving the switch from one position to another and leaving it there) clears user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores default passwords. Once reset you can use the defaults or re-enter your passwords.

NOTE

Do not change the state of Switch 8 unless you want to reset the EMM-E6 user-configured passwords to their factory default settings.

3.3PRE-INSTALLATION TEST

Before installing the EMM-E6 in a live network, you may want to test the module in a controlled situation to ensure that it is bridging traffic. You can perform this test with two workstations (see Figure 3-2), using an MMAC with an EMM-E6 and Ethernet Media Interface Module (MIM, RMIM, or XMIM) installed and set up as follows:

1.Install the EMM-E6 into an MMAC that is not attached to a network.

2.Install an Ethernet Media Interface Module (MIM), Repeating Media Interface Module (RMIM), or Port Assignment Media Interface Module (XMIM) in the MMAC. Follow the installation instructions found in the Installation or User’s Guide shipped with that product.
