BRIM-E100 User’s Guide Page 1-3

1.4 BRIM-E100 OVERVIEW

The BRIM-E100 (shown in Figure 1-1 with an FE-100TX installed)

extends the functionality of a Cabletron Systems MIM or standalone hub

to include 100 Mbps Ethernet bridging capability. The BRIM-E100 is

equipped with one front panel slot that supports a Cabletron Systems

100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Interface Module for network connectivity. The

Modules provide connectivity to a variety of technology types including

100BASE-TX (using RJ45 connectors on twisted pair cable) and

100BASE-FX (using SC connectors on ﬁber optic cable).

Figure 1-1 The BRIM-E100

1.5 BRIM-E100 FEATURES

Local Area Network (LAN) Connectivity

The BRIM-E100 uses Cabletron Systems Fast Ethernet Interface Modules

for LAN connectivity.You can easily install these Modules into the

BRIM-E100 for the conﬁguration of your choice.

Auto-Negotiation

The BRIM-E100 when coupled with the FE-100TX module is capable of

auto-negotiation for either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operation in full duplex

or standard Ethernet (half duplex) mode. The device at the other end of

the segment must also be capable of auto-negotiation in order to

auto-negotiate full duplex mode. If the device is not capable of

auto-negotiation, the BRIM-E100 senses the speed at which the device

operates and switches to that speed in standard Ethernet mode.

NOTE

Fast Ethernet Interface Module connector and pinout

information is located in Appendix A of this User’s Guide.
