Chapter 1 Introduction The 9F106-02 (as shown in Figure 1-1) is an FDDI repeater module for the MMAC-Plus that provides external access to the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) backplane via two sets of FDDI-compliant A/B ports. This allows the FNB to traverse multiple MMAC-Plus systems, or connect to any ASNI FDDI-compliant device in an FDDI network.

Introduction LANVIEW LEDs The 9F106-02 uses LANVIEW: the Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system for at-a-glance diagnosis of the network. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify the device, port, and physical layer status. Hot Swapping The 9F106-02 can be installed or removed from the chassis while the MMAC-Plus is powered up without affecting the operation of the rest of the system.

The Reset Switch The Reset Switch The Reset switch is located on the front panel, under the top plastic tab as shown in Figure 2-2. It serves two functions: • Pressing the Reset switch twice within three seconds causes the processor (i960) to reset.
Installing the MicroLAN Module User-Accessible Components Figure 2-4 shows the various components that are accessible to the user. These consist of an eight position dip switch (explained in the next section), replaceable PROMs, and sockets for RAM. These will be used for future upgrades. Instructions for installing the components will be supplied with the upgrade kit.
Setting the Module Card DIP Switch Setting the Module Card DIP Switch An eight switch DIP switch is located on the module card as shown in Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-4. The functions of the switches are listed in Table 2-1. Figure 2-4.

The module will open a connection to the FNB-2 FNB-2 ring upon insertion to the chassis. The Autoconnect On FNB ring will wrap if there is no active link on the front panel port.
Installing an FPIM Installing an FPIM The 9F106-02 MicroLAN module is shipped without FPIMs. To install an FPIM, follow the procedure below: Remove the module if it is installed in the MMAC-Plus chassis. Remove the blank front cover over the FPIM slot. Install the FPIM as shown in Figure 2-5.
Chapter 3 Operation The 9F106-02 module, as shown in Figure 3-1, provides two repeater ports that connect to the FNB bus. No bridging or routing is done in this module. Each port connects to both rings (FNB-1 and FNB-2) on the FNB. This is software configurable.
Operation System Management Bus There are two management channels within the MMAC-Plus system: the SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and inter-module management communication. The 9F106-02 uses only the SMB-1 bus. The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps management bus located within the MMAC-Plus. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity modules, power supply modules and the environmental module.
