TPXMIMThe EMME/ EMM-E6 also supports Cabletron’s family of Twisted Pair Switching Media Interface Modules (TPXMIMs). The TPXMIM-20, -22, -33 and -34 are a series of port assignment modules designed specifically for Cabletron’s MMAC FNB hubs equipped with the EMME/EMM-E6. TPXMIM permits the entire board (bank switching) or each individual port (the port assignment) to be assigned to any of the three Ethernet channels A, B, and C on the MMAC FNB backplane. This way the unnecessary traffic across the bridge can be eliminated. The TPXMIM gives you an option of reassigning ports to

different channels right at the management station without having to move the cable.

Note:Note:

The callouts in the illustration below identify the label and, when applicable, the view to which they provide double-click access. Example: Port Number/Notes View - displays the sport number and provides double-click access to the Notes view.

Model Information Views

This section provides a brief description of the Model Information views available for models of EMME/EMM-E6 devices in SPECTRUM.

Model Information views provide descriptive and configuration information about SPECTRUM models of individual devices, interfaces, and applications. Figure 15 shows an example of the Model Information view accessed from the Icon Subviews menu for the EMME/EMM-6 model’s Device icon. Model Information views are also available for each of the Interface icons in the Interface Device and Interface Device Topology views, and for each of the Application icons in the Application view. Although these views may vary slightly depending on the particular entity being modeled, their basic layout and content are similar for most SPECTRUM management modules. Therefore these views are described in more detail in the SPECTRUM Views documentation.
