PRE-INSTALLATION TEST
3.6PRE-INSTALLATION TEST
Before installing the EMM-E6 in a live network, test the module in a controlled situation to ensure that it is repeating and bridging packets. You can perform this test with two workstations (see Figure 3-6), using an MMAC-FNB, or MMAC-MFNB, installed with an EMM-E6 and a Media Interface Module (MIM) as follows:
1.Install the EMM-E6 and any MIM (e.g., TPMIM, THN-MIM, CXRMIM, FORMIM, etc.) into a non-networked MMAC.
2.Connect the first workstation to an EMM-E6 EPIM or BRIM.
3.Connect the second workstation to the MIM using the appropriate cable or transceiver.
4.Assign the EMM-E6 a valid IP address through Local Management.
5.Designate the first workstation as a file server and the second one as the client (refer to the workstation manuals for establishing one as a file server and one as a client.).
