Chapter 1 Introduction What Is in This Chapter This chapter describes the SPECTRUM Management Module for the MicroMMAC-E. It will also give you the model type names assigned to the MicroMMAC-E in SPECTRUM. (Model type name refers to the template used to specify attributes, actions, and associations for device models in SPECTRUM.
MicroMMAC-E Applications (e.g., Ethernet to: FDDI network backbones, Wide Area, or Ethernet, etc.). Other optional BRIMs are as follows: ¥ BRIM-E: Ethernet module with selectable media connections ¥ BRIM-F6: FDDI Dual Attached Station (DAS) connection ¥ BRIM-WT1: Wide Area NetworK (WAN) When a BRIM is inserted into a MicroMMAC-E chassis, the icon dynamically changes from a hub icon to a bridging icon, demonstrating the additional bridging functionality provided by the BRIM.
MicroMMAC-E Applications ¥ CtWANAppRS232 - RFC1317sync ¥ DownLoad (CtDownLoadApp) ¥ Repeating (StckRptrRev4) ¥ MIB--II (SNMP2_Agent) - ICMP (ICMP_App) - IP (IP2_App) - System (System2_App) - UDP (UDP2_App) ¥ RMON App - RMONEthProbe ¥ CtWANApp RMON/CtRouter/DLM are also supported. SPECTRUM management of these MIBs are purchased separately.

Chassis Device View Redundancy Redundancy SPECTRUM allows redundant circuit connections between any two or more hub devices that have redundant capability in their Þrmware. A circuit is established by a cable connection from one port on a primary hub device to one or more ports on secondary hub devices. The cable connections can use any valid cable type, including UTP/STP, coaxial, or Þber optic. Any two or more cable connections create a complete circular circuit pathway between the two devices.
