NOTE

Cabletron Systems products that support Inverse Multiplexing (IMUX), such as the HSIM-W87, HSIM-W6, CSX400, and HSIM-W84, must exist on both ends of the WAN link for the IMUX function to work. All bridging and switching functions, such as 802.1D, SecureFast VLAN, and 802.1Q are able to run as normal on the host platform when using the IMUX function on the HSIM-W87.
