Page 8: Introduction
1. Introduction The SmartStack SSIM-R2-02 and SmartStack SSIM-R8-02 provide two ports of 100 Mbps High-Speed Token Ring for the SmartStack STS16-20RM Token Ring switch. Designed for high performance and low latency, these modules provide seamless integration between legacy Token Ring networks and HSTR servers or an HSTR backbone. - Page 9 The SSIM-R2-02 and SSIM-R8-02 conform to the IEEE 802.5t standard for 100 Mbps High-Speed Token Ring, and implement the standard DTR MAC protocol. An HSTR port can connect to a standard HSTR adapter or it can act as a trunk port and carry traffic from up to 63 VLANs configured in the switch.

3. Console Configuration This chapter explains how to view and edit the configuration of the SSIM-R2-02 and SSIM-R8-02 using a VT100 terminal emulator attached directly to a SmartStack STS16-20RM switch. The SSIM-Rx-02 configuration can also be modified from a remote VT100 console via a Telnet session. Connecting a network management console is explained in the manual supplied with the SmartStack STS16-20RM switch. -
