TRMIM Token Ring Modules
Cabletron Systems TRMIM Token Ring modules are available with 12 or
24 ports equipped with either RJ45 or DB9 connectors. Token Ring
modules that support unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable provide for
segments of up to 100 meters. With modules that support shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable, you can attach segments of up to 200 meters.
2.3 SAMPLE NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The following illustrates a simple network configuration that provides a
general idea of how the IRM3 can be used in a network. Each workstation
will have access to each other and the server through the TPMIM and the
IRM3. The IRM3 manages the backplane and repeating functions
between the users on the network. The TPMIM provides access to the
backplane for the workstations while the IRM3 repeats the incoming
traffic to the other stations on the network. Control of the boards and ports
is accessed through the IRM3 Local Management.
