1.2 THE INTELLIGENT REPEATER MODULE (IRM3)
The Intelligent Repeater Module (IRM3) (Figure 1-1) is the heart of the

data paths between devices connected to the MMAC.
The IRM3 is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) compliant,
and can be controlled and monitored by a variety of SNMP Network
Management packages. These include Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM
Element Manager for Windows, Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM, and
third party SNMP network management packages. Additionally, the
IRM3 can be controlled and monitored by IRM3/LM - Local
Management for the IRM3 through a terminal connected locally or
through a Hayes compatible modem.
