The MMAC-Plus
The MMAC-Plus chassis is a networking platform that provides support for the
configuration and operation of up to fourteen Cabletron Systems MMAC-Plus
interface modules.
Features
Multiple Technology Support
The design of the chassis allows it to provide support for existing and future Local
Area Networking technologies such as Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet,
Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Systems Network
Architecture (SNA), Wide Area Networks (WAN), and Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM).
Redundant Power Supply Modules
The 9C114 and 9C714 support the installation of two power supplies for power
supply redundancy and load sharing. If a 9C500 Power Box is used, up to six
power supplies may be installed.
9C300-1 Environmental Module
The 9C300-1 Environmental Module provides out-of-band management
capabilities, monitors power supply and environmental status, and has a built-in
cooling system. The 9C300-1 Environmental Module is also “hot swappable” so
that it can be removed for repair or replacement without causing network
downtime. For details refer to the MMAC-Plus 9C300-1 Environmental Module
User’s Guide .
