THE MMAC-M5FNB MULTI MEDIA ACCESS CENTER
The Cabletron Systems MMAC-M5FNB is a complete modular
approach to integrated networks. The MMAC-M5FNB supports Local
Area Networks compliant to IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.5, and FDDI
standards. It also supports all of the Cabletron Systems Media
Interface Modules (MIMs).
A variety of IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.5, and FDDI compliant media can
be connected to the MMAC-M5FNB, including shielded and
unshielded twisted pair, fiber optic cable, thick or thin coaxial cable,
and standard AUI transceiver cable. Each media type has a MIM
which, when installed into the MMAC-M5FNB, is compatible with all
other MIMs installed in that unit. You can have complete network
integration of a variety of media through a single source.
The MMAC-M5FNB is designed so that network expansions or
changes in media types can be done without bringing down the entire
network. In a matter of minutes, you can add, change, or replace
MIMs without turning off the MMAC-M5FNB or using any special
tools. This design also allows the MMAC-M5FNB to adapt to
ever-changing industry standards. Figure 1-1 (following page)
illustrates an MMAC-M5FNB equipped with a variety of MIM cards.
CAUTION:
Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit
and its modules!
