INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Cabletron Systems

MicroMMAC-22T/-24T/-42T/

-44T StackableToken Ring Intelligent Hub User’s Guide

. This manual

provides installation instructions, network requirements, reference

information, and operating instructions for the MicroMMAC-T (Figure

1-1) family of stackable hubs. Installing the MicroMMAC-T requires

familiarity with the physical layer components of Token Ring (IEEE

802.5) data communications networks.

NOTE

: Unless otherwise speciﬁed, this manual uses the term

MicroMMAC-T to collectively refer to the MicroMMAC-22T, the

MicroMMAC-24T, the MicroMMAC-42T, and the MicroMMAC-44T.

, explains how to monitor the operation

performanceofthe MicroMMAC-TusingLANVIEW®LEDs and LCD’s.

It also explains how to access POWER UP diagnostic test information.

1.2 MicroMMAC-T OVERVIEW

The MicroMMAC-T is an intelligent, stackable Multi-Media Access

Center providing connectivity and SNMP management for up to 255

Token Ring users (Local Management for up to 120 Token Ring users) in

remote ofﬁce environments. The MicroMMAC-T can be used in

conjunction with Cabletron’s STH HubSTACK series of stackable

non-intelligent hubs.

Figure 1-2 illustrates a typical MicroMMAC-T conﬁguration scenario.

Attachable Bridge/Routing Interface Modules (BRIMs), incorporated as

seamlessentitieswithin theMicroMMAC-T,provideconnectivitynotonly

to standard Token Rings but also to Ethernet, FDDI,ATM, and WAN

environments, depending upon the BRIM types used.

TokenRingPort InterfaceModules(TPIMs)attachable at theRingIn/Ring

Out(RI/RO) ports provideconnectivity and expandedtrunkconnectionsto

a range of Token Ring media: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP), Shielded

Twisted Pair (STP), and Fiber.

By installing Cabletron’s MicroSNAC daughterboard in the

MicroMMAC-T, you can consolidate SNA/SDLC, BSC, LAN, and WAN

connectivity into a single unit.

Telnet support provides easy access to Local Management tools from any

TCP/IP based node on the network.

The MicroMMAC-T complies with the IEEE 802.5 standard and is fully

IBM Token Ring compatible. The remainder of this chapter discusses

MicroMMAC-T features in greater detail.
