CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The FDCMIM-04/08/24/28/34/38/44/48 are components of a modular
dual attached concentrator. These components attach to an FDDI dual
ring through the Cabletron Systems FDMMIM, FDMMIM-04,
FDMMIM-24, or FDMMIM-30.
Note:
Throughout this manual, unless otherwise noted, the term
FDCMIM refers to the FDCMIM-04/08/24/28/34/38/44/48.
FDCMIMs reside in a Multi Media Access Center (MMAC), and you
can use them either with or without an FDMMIM, since you can form
a stand-alone FDDI network using one or more FDCMIMs.
The FDCMIM-X4s have four and the FDCMIM-X8s have eight master
ports (where X varies, depending on the cable/transmitter type) that
accept different connectors. Chapter 4,
Specifications
, lists the
operating specifications for the different available FDCMIM cable and
transmitter types.
