Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 Ethernet manual Mib, Mim

	Media to Nanometer
Media	Physical cabling or other method of interconnection
	through which network signals are transmitted and
	received.
MIB	Management Information Base. A database of data related
	to a specific management or manageable network device,
	which may be viewed or modified through SNMP
	commands.
MIB Tree	The MIB Tree is the collection of all MIBs that can be
	used to monitor or control a network device. MIB Trees
	are made up of several branch groups which lead to leaf
	objects, or MIBs.
Micron (∝)	A micrometer, one millionth of a meter.
MIM	Media Interface Module. See also: Module.
Mission-	Vital to the operation of a network, company, or agency.
Critical
Modular	A device which provides power, cooling, interconnection,
Chassis	and monitoring functions to a series of flexible and
	centralized modules for the purposes of creating a
	network or networks.
Module	A discrete device which is placed in a modular chassis to
	provide functionality which may include, but is not limited
	to; bridging, routing, connectivity, and repeating. Modules
	are easily installed and removed. Also, any device
	designed to be placed in another device in order to operate.
	See also: BRIM, EPIM.
Multichannel	A Cabletron Ethernet design which provides three separate
	network channels (of Ethernet or Token Ring architecture)
	through the backplane of a chassis, allowing for the
	creation of multiple networks in a single chassis.
Multimode	A type of fiber optics in which light travels in multiple
	modes, or wavelengths. Signals in Multimode fiber optics
	are typically driven by LEDs.
Nanometer	One billionth of a meter.
