INTRODUCTION

It is possible to have several network types and media in one MMAC,
such as a shielded twisted pair token ring network and a thin-net
Ethernet network. There are a number of configuration guidelines
concerning multiple networks within an MMAC. These guidelines
are listed in Chapter 3, Installing the TRMIM-20R.
Several MMACs can be connected into the same ring network by
installing token ring concentrators (TRMIM-10R/TRMIM-20R) or
token ring repeaters (TRRMIM-16/TRRMIM-26). The choice between
using concentrators or repeaters depends on specific network
configurations.
The TRMIM-20R incorporates LANVIEW, a useful tool to help you
quickly diagnose physical layer network problems. Several LEDs
(light emitting diodes) are located at the front of the TRMIM-20R.
These LEDs indicate the ring speed, detection of a TRMIM-20R
hardware error, and when a specific port is attached to the ring.
A variety of network management tools can be used to control and
monitor the TRMIM-20R, including Cabletron Systems Local
Management, Cabletron Systems Remote LANVIEW Windows
, and
