CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Token Ring Media Interface Modules
Installation Guide. This manual serves as a reference for installing
and troubleshooting Cabletron Systems TRMIM-22, TRMIM-24,
TRMIM-42, and TRMIM-44.
The TRMIM-22, TRMIM-24, TRMIM-42, and TRMIM-44 comprise a
family of Token Ring Concentrator modules. The TRMIM-22 and
TRMIM-24 provide 12 and 24 trunk coupling unit (TCU) ports,
respectively, that support voice grade unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cabling. The TRMIM-42 and TRMIM-44 have 12 and 24 TCU ports,
respectively, supporting IBMtype 1, 2, 6, and 9 shielded twisted pair
(STP) cabling.
Both UTP concentrator modules and both STP concentrator modules
are equipped with RJ-45 modular connectors. The STP concentrator
module RJ-45 connectors provide for connection of the cabling shield.
All four concentrator modules are designed for installation in any
Cabletron Systems Multi Media Access Center(MMAC) equipped
with a Flexible Network Bus(FNB). All four concentrator
modules are IEEE 802.5 compliant and compatible with IBM
products.
NOTE: The term Concentrator Module is used throughout this
manual when describing features and functions that are common to
the TRMIM-22, TRMIM-24, TRMIM-42, and TRMIM-44. The terms
TRMIM-22, TRMIM-24, TRMIM-42, and TRMIM-44 are used when
it is necessary to describe features that are unique to any device.
1.1 USING THIS MANUAL
Prior to installing and operating your concentrator module, read
through this manual completely to familiarize yourself with its
contents and to gain an understanding of the features of the
concentrator module.
A general working knowledge of Token Ring (IEEE 802.5) networks
will be helpful when installing your concentrator module.
Page 1-2
INTRODUCTION
Chapter 1, Introduction, describes how to use this document,
provides an overview of the features and capabilities of each
concentrator module, and concludes with a list of related manuals.
Chapter 2, Installation Requirements/Specifications, lists the
network requirements that must be met before you begin installing
your concentrator module. Detailed specifications for each of the
concentrator modules is also provided.
Chapter 3, Installing the Concentrator Module, contains
instructions for installing a concentrator module into the MMAC, and
attaching token ring station cabling.
Chapter 4, Testing and Troubleshooting, describes checks that
you can perform if you encounter problems after installing a
concentrator module. Instructions for using LANVIEW, Cabletron
Systems’ built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system, are
also included.
1.2 THE CONCENTRATOR MODULES
The TRMIM-22, TRMIM-24, TRMIM-42, and TRMIM-44, shown in
Figure 1-1, can be installed as a free standing token ring network or
to provide UTP or STP connectivity to an existing token ring network.
All four concentrator modules are designed for installation into a
Cabletron Systems MMAC. Since they do not have externally
accessible Ring-In and Ring-Out ports, they are considered
concentrator modules. (A concentrator in token ring applications is
defined as a device with multiple TCU ports bounded by externally
accessible Ring-In and Ring-Out ports.)
All four concentrator modules are designed for installation into a
Cabletron Systems MMAC, where they can be used to create an
independent 12 or 24 port ring or to expand an existing token ring
network. When any concentrator module is used within an MMAC,
the concentrator module is connected through the MMAC backplane
via the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) to other token ring MIMs,
repeaters, bridges, or management modules.
The MIMs automatically attach to each other through the FNB when
positioned in adjacent slots and configured with identical ring speed
settings.

INTRODUCTION
Multiple Concentrator Modules
Several concentrator modules can be installed into a single MMAC
and configured as independent rings or linked together into a single
ring network. Configuration guidelines can be found in Chapter 3,
Installing the Concentrator Module.
Multiple MMACs in a Ring Network
Several MMACs can be connected into the same ring network by
installing token ring concentrators (TRMIM-10R/20R with externally
accessible Ring-In/Ring-Out ports) or token ring repeaters
(TRRMIM-A/2A/4A). The choice between using concentrators or
repeaters depends on specific network configurations. Refer to
Cabletron Systems TRMIM-10R/20R Installation Guideor
TRRMIM-A/2A/4A Installation Guide for more information on the
use of these products or contact Cabletron Systems Technical
Support.
A variety of network management tools can be used to control and
monitor these repeaters, including Cabletron Systems Local
Management, Remote LANVIEW/Windows, and SPECTRUM.
LANVIEW LEDs
Several LEDs, on the front panel of the concentrator module, are used
to indicate the ring speed, a bypass condition, status, and
management statistics for each of the TCU ports. LANVIEW is an
effective tool to help you quickly diagnose your physical layer network
problems.

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS/SPECIFICATIONS
Before you attempt to install your concentrator module, review the
installation requirements and operating specifications that are
outlined in this chapter.
Your network installation must meet the conditions, guidelines,
specifications, and requirements included in this chapter to obtain
satisfactory performance from this equipment. Failure to follow these
guidelines could produce poor network performance.
2.1 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
Take care in planning and preparing the cabling and connections for
your network. The quality of the connections, the length of cables
and other conditions of the installation are critical factors in
determining the reliability of your network. Work area wall plates/
outlets used for your token ring network should be clearly labeled as
token ring network lobe connections.
The following sections describe network requirements for this
equipment.
2.1.1 Cable Specifications
The media used for station (lobe) cabling depends on your specific
concentrator module:
• The TRMIM-22 and TRMIM-24 support voice grade UTP cable, as
described in EIA Standard Proposal No. 1907-A, and IBM Type 3
UTP cabling.
• The TRMIM-42 and TRMIM-44 support IBM shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable Types 1, 2, 6, and 9 at their trunk coupling unit
(TCU) ports.
