INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION Cabletron Systems Coaxial Media Interface Module (THN-MIM) provides 12 Ethernet/lEEE 802.3 coaxial cable connectors per module. ™ When used with the MMAC-8 enclosure, up to 84 coaxial segments ™ can be connected to one MMAC . The THN-MIM can be mixed with other Media Interface Modules to provide a variety of different media connections. This means that you can use a combination of twisted pair, fiber optic, and coaxial cabling

INTRODUCTION can be connected directly to the module. Each of these segments supports one device. The entire THN-MIM or each port on the MIM can be controlled via the IRM in your MMAC. The IRM can be accessed directly through a console port on the front panel or be controlled and managed in-band ™ using Cabletron Systems Remote LANVIEW/Windows , ® SPECTRUM , or SNMP compliant network control management software. ® Each port on the THN-MIM has two LANVIEW LEDs, the Port OK (PO

INSTALLATION CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 INTRODUCTION The Cabletron Systems THN-MIM is designed for quick and easy installation into an MMAC. No special skills or tools are required to install this module. 2.2 NETWORK DESIGN GUIDELINES The following network design guidelines must be followed when connecting segments to the THN-MIM. If not, unsatisfactory network performance may result. 2.2.1 Thin-net Segments This applies to the THN-MIM only. For the THN-MIM7593, see section 2.2

INSTALLATION Since the ports on the module are internally terminated, the end of the segment that will be connected to the module will not be a tee connector or terminator. 2.2.2 Thin-net Segments (THN-MIM7593 only) The following network design guideline must be followed when connecting 75 or 93 ohm coaxial cable segments to the THN-MIM7593. If not, unsatisfactory network performance may result. • The length of the 75 or 93 ohm coaxial cable segment is dependent on signal loss from on

INSTALLATION • The THN-MIM7593 does not report false collisions to the IRM. However, if a non-Cabletron Systems Ethernet device is connected to the segment, it is possible for false collisions to be generated. Non-Cabletron System devices should be thoroughly tested before using them with the THN-MIM7593. 2.2.3 Thick-net Segments • 50 ohm Ethernet type coaxial cable must be used when making up thick-net cable segments. • Each thick-net cable segment connected to a THN-MIM module must

INSTALLATION 2.3 INSTALLATION Install the THN-MIM into the MMAC as follows: CAUTION: Observe all electrostatic precautions when handling the THN-MIM. Static discharges will damage the module. 1. Remove the unit from the shipping box. 2. Slide the two foam end caps off the unit. 3. Remove the unit from the protective plastic bag and set the THN-MIM in a static free area. Save the shipping box and materials in case the module has to be reshipped. 4. Slide the module into the MM

TESTING AND LANVIEW At least 100 packets should be sent and received with no errors. The packets will be received from and sent back to the LAN-MD acting as the SERVER. When the applicable segment(s) connected to the THN-MIM have successfully completed these tests, the segments are ready for normal operation. If any failures were noted, please contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support. 3.3 USING LANVIEW The THN-MIM uses Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and
