INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Cabletron Systems

10BASE-T Twisted Pair Media Interface

Module (TPMIM™) Installation Guide

. We have designed this manual to

serve as a simple reference guide for the TPMIM. Before using the TPMIM, you

need to carefully read through this manual to gain a full understanding of the TP-

MIM and its capabilities.

Cabletron Systems offers four versions of the 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Media In-

terface Module (Fig. 1-1) for connecting 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Segments to a

Multi Media Access Center (MMAC™):

• TPMIM-22

with 12 RJ-45 ports.

• TPMIM-24

with 24 RJ-45 ports.

• TPMIM-32 with one 50 pin Champ connector.

• TPMIM-34 with two 50 pin Champ connectors.

1.3 THE 10BASE-T TWISTED PAIR MEDIA INTERFACE MODULES

Cabletron Systems' 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Media Interface Modules provide 12

or 24 ports, utilizing either RJ-45 ports or 50-pin Champ connectors. When used

with the MMAC-8/FNB™, up to 168 10BASE-T twisted pair segments can be

connected.

Distance and Cable Type

The TPMIM supports 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Segments up to 125 meters in

length. These segments can be made from a wide variety of popular unshielded

twisted pair cabling with properties varying from 75-165 ohm impedance and 22-

26 AWG conductor size.

INTRODUCTION

Page 1-4

Polarity Detection and Correction

Each Port on the TPMIM incorporates a Polarity Detection and Correction fea-

ture. The Polarity Detection and Correction feature allows the TPMIM to pass

data regardless of the polarity of the twisted pair segments’ receive link. If polar-

ity is reversed, the LNK LED will flash to indicate this condition, once a good

packet passes through the port.

NOTE

: If this condition exists, the segment should be removed from the TPMIM

and the wiring corrected in the event that, in the future, the segment needs to be

attached to a device without the Polarity Correction and Detection feature.

Multi Media Access Centers

The Cabletron Systems’ 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Media Interface Modules are

designed to be installed into the Cabletron Systems MMAC. The modular design

of the MMAC allows the TPMIM to

co-exist with other Media Interface Modules (MIM™s) to provide a variety of dif-

ferent media connections on any one point. This means that the TPMIM can be

used by itself or in conjunction with any combination of other MIMs accommo-

dating Fiber Optic Cable, Thick or Thin Ethernet Coaxial Cabling, or AUI Ca-

bling.

Each packet entering the TPMIM is repeated by the MMAC’s repeater module.

These include the Cabletron Systems Intelligent Repeater Module (IRM-2™) and

Intelligent Repeater Bridging Module (IRBM™). Each packet that enters the re-

peater module is regenerated and retimed, which assures data integrity and maxi-

mum data path distance. In addition, the repeater feature ensures fault isolation,

since the repeater module will automatically segment problem ports from the net-

work. A segmented port will be automatically reconnected to the network once

the port has received a good packet.

INTRODUCTION

Page 1-5

The repeater module also allows you to access the network management capabil-

ities that enable you to control the TPMIM and its attached segments. For exam-

ple, information on the number of good packets and collisions that have passed

through the TPMIM and each port on the MIM can be gathered. A variety of net-

work management programs can be used to manage the TPMIM, including:

• Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM™.

• Cabletron Systems Remote LANVIEW/Windows™.

• Cabletron Systems Local Management.

• Third party SNMP compliant network management packages.

LANVIEW LEDs

TheTPMIM incorporates LANVIEW, CabletronSystems’built-indiagnostic and

status monitoring LED system. These LEDs, incorporated into all Cabletron Sys-

tems’ products, will assist you in rapidly diagnosing network problems as they

arise. Each port on the TPMIM has two LANVIEW LEDs: the Link OK (LNK)

LED and the Receive (RCV) LED. The Link OK LED will remain lit as long as

a link is maintained between the applicable port on the module and the 10BASE-

T device at the other end of the cable. If a link is not established, the LED will not

be lit. The Receive LED will be lit when activity is detected on the segment.

The TPMIM also has one Collision (CLN) LED, which indicates a collision on

any segment attached to one of the ports, and one Error (ERR) LED, which indi-

cates a potential temperature problem within the MMAC.

1.3.1The TPMIM-22/24

The TPMIM-22/24 design incorporates built-in RJ-45 ports, 12 on the TPMIM-

22 and 24 on the TPMIM-24. This design makes it easier to incorporate twisted

pair wiring schemes into your network. The TPMIM-22/24 allows you to directly

connect the segments to patch panels or other 10BASE-T Ethernet devices, elim-

inating the need for Punch-Down blocks or additional patch panels.

Each RJ-45 port on the TPMIM-22/24 is internally crossed over, eliminating the

need to cross over the twisted pair segment going from the port to the 10BASE-T

device at the other end of the segment.

INTRODUCTION

Page 1-6

1.3.2The TPMIM-32/34

The TPMIM-32/34 provides an alternative method for incorporating 10BASE-T

twisted pair segments into an existing twisted pair wiring scheme. The TPMIM-

32 has one 50 pin Champ connector that allows you to connect 12 segments to the

module. The

TPMIM-34 has two 50 pin Champ connector that allows you to connect 24 seg-

ments to the module. The 50 Pin Champ connector allows the MIM to tie directly

into Punch-Down blocks and patch panels. This connector complies with all

punch down and harmonica specifications.
