BRIM Port Status LabelThis label indicates the port activity status. All possible states and their color definitions are described in Table 13.

MIM IconThis icon represents a Media Interface Module (MIM). There are two basic types of MIMs that can be managed by the EMME/EMM-E6: Repeater MIMs (RMIMs) and non-repeater MIMs.

The EMME/EMM-E6 manages the RMIMs located in the MMAC chassis through Ethernet channels B, and C. RMIMs can repeat packets autonomously without channeling them through the EMME/EMM-E6. The members of the RMIM family designed to work with the EMME/EMM-E6 are: FORMIM, CXRMIM, TPRMIM, and TPXMIM.

Figure 6 shows an example of a Repeater MIM icon.

The EMME/EMME-6 uses channel A on the MMAC backplane to transmit and receive data from non-repeater MIMs (i.e., TRMIMs, FOMIMs, THN-MIMs). The EMME/EMM-E6 provides repeater functionality for these MIMs.

MIM Identification LabelsThese labels provide the following information (refer to Figure 6):

TPXMIMThe EMME/ EMM-E6 also supports Cabletron’s family of Twisted Pair Switching Media Interface Modules (TPXMIMs). The TPXMIM-20, -22, -33 and -34 are a series of port assignment modules designed specifically for Cabletron’s MMAC FNB hubs equipped with the EMME/EMM-E6. TPXMIM permits the entire board (bank switching) or each individual port (the port assignment) to be assigned to any of the three Ethernet channels A, B, and C on the MMAC FNB backplane. This way the unnecessary traffic across the bridge can be eliminated. The TPXMIM gives you an option of reassigning ports to different channels right at the management station without having to move the cable.

Application Views

This section describes the main Application view and the associated application-specific subviews available formodels of EMME/EMM-E6 devices in SPECTRUM.

Access: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Deviceicon, select Application .

When a device model is created, SPECTRUM automatically creates models for each of the major and minor applications supported by the device. The Application view identifies all of these application models, shows their current condition status, and provides access to application-specific subviews.

Figure 10 shows an Application view in its default mode (Icon) where each of the application models is represented by an Application icon (see Figure 11 for a close-up). The Application icons are arranged hierarchically under a Device icon, with major applications in the top row and their respective minor applications stacked directly below.

If you prefer to see applications displayed by name only, in a single vertical list, select View > Mode > List.
