The TRMMIM

The TRMMIM™ is an intelligent Token Ring management module designed to be used in a mid-chassis slot of a Cabletron Systems Multi-Media Access Center® (MMAC™) chassis, with a TRMM® or an Ethernet intelligent repeater that supports Cabletron’s backplane protocol (currently the EMME™ or the EMM-E6™) residing in the management slot. The latter case allows you to fully manage both Token Ring and Ethernet networks coexisting in the same chassis.

Using the TRMMIM User’s Guide

Your SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the TRMMIM consists of a number of different applications, each of which provides a portion of the overall management functionality. Each of these applications can be accessed from the icon menu (if you are using a management platform), from the Hub View (which is a graphical display of the TRMMIM-managed hub), and from the command line (if you are running in stand-alone mode).

The TRMMIM User’s Guide describes how to use many of the applications included with the module; note that the instructions provided in this guide apply to the TRMMIM module regardless of the operating system or management platform you are using. Instructions for launching each individual function from the command line (stand-alone mode) are also included in each chapter.

Following are descriptions of the applications detailed in this guide; while we provide as much background information as we can, we do assume that you’re familiar with Token Ring networks and general network management concepts.
