MIB Support Refer to the Release Notes included with the host MIM or standalone hub for a list of all MIBs supported by the BRIM-W6. For information about how to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support (see Getting Help).
GR-1089-CORE EMC and Electrical Safety Generic Criteria for It is the responsibility of the person who sells the system in which the BRIM-W6 will be installed to ensure that the total WARNING system meets allowed limits of conducted and radiated emissions.
The WPIM Local Management Guide shipped with each WPIM provides step-by-step information on setting up your BRIM-W6 through local management and provides WAN interface cable pinouts. This manual references procedures in these manuals, where appropriate, but does not repeat them.
This chapter contains instructions for unpacking the BRIM-W6, installing WPIMs, and installing the BRIM-W6 into Cabletron devices that support BRIM technology. To install the BRIM-W6 and WPIMs, you need the following equipment: • 1 disposable grounding strap (provided with any MIM or hub) • 1 Phillips screwdriver.
1. Attach the disposable grounding strap to your wrist (refer to the instructions outlined on the disposable grounding strap package). 2. Remove the two faceplate screws from the BRIM-W6. See Figure 2-1. 3. Remove the faceplate. 4. Insert the connector pins of the WPIM into the connector on the BRIM-W6.
2.3 INSTALLING THE BRIM-W6 You can install a BRIM-W6 in most Cabletron devices that support BRIM technology (e.g., EMM-E6, or MicroMMAC). Refer to the release notes for the version of firmware running on the Cabletron device to make sure that the BRIM-W6 is supported. The following subsections provide generic instructions for installing a BRIM-W6 in a MIM or standalone hub.
8. Insert the connector pins of the BRIM-W6 into the BRIM connector on the MIM. 9. Press down firmly on the back of the BRIM-W6 until the pins slide all the way into the connector holes. Ensure that the standoffs on the MIM align with the standoff screw holes on the BRIM.
