INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Cabletron Systems

MRXI-22 and MRXI-24 10BASE-T

HUB User’s Guide

. This manual provides installation instructions and

presents reference information for the MRXI-22 and MRXI-24

10BASE-T Hubs.

Note

:Throughout this manual the term MRXI is used to cover both the

MRXI-22 and MRXI-24 unless otherwise speciﬁed.

1.1 USINGTHIS MANUAL

Read through this manual completely to familiarize yourself with its

content and to gain an understanding of the features and capabilities of

the MRXI. A general working knowledge of Ethernet and IEEE 802.3

type data communications networks and their physical layer components

will be helpful when installing the MRXI.

Chapter 1,

Introduction

, outlines the contents of this manual, brieﬂy

describes features of the MRXI, and concludes with a list of related

manuals.

Chapter 2,

Requirements/Speciﬁcations

, describes installation

requirements, network guidelines, and MRXI operating speciﬁcations.

Chapter 3,

Installation

, contains instructions for installing your MRXI

and connecting it to the network using the various media types.

Chapter 4,

Testing and Troubleshooting,

contains procedures for testing

the MRXI after installation, a description of the LANVIEW ™ LEDs, and

explains the use of the front panel LCD display.

Chapter 5,

Local Management,

describes how to access Local

Management. It also describes each of the Local Management screens and

the available commands.

1.3 THE 10BASE-T MRXI

The MRXI-22 and MRXI-24 are functionally identical. The MRXI-22

provides twelve RJ-45 connectors and the MRXI-24 provides twenty-four

RJ-45 connectors for network ports. Additional network connections are

made through the use of front panel EPIM modules (one module for the

MRXI-22, two modules for the MRXI-24). A variety of EPIMs are

available permitting the expansion of an Ethernet/802.3 network via:

• Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable from the 10BASE-T Twisted Pair

Interface Module (EPIM-T).

• Fiber Optic Cable, with SMA or ST connectors, from the Fiber Optic

Interface Modules (EPIM-F1, EPIM-F2 or EPIM-F3).

• Thin-Net Cable from the Coaxial Interface Module (EPIM-C).

• AUI Cable from the AUI Interface Module (EPIM-A or

EPIM-X).

The Complete Networking Solution

INTRODUCTION

1-3

The MRXI fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3 Repeater, AUI, and

10BASE-T speciﬁcations, and provides the ﬂexibility to connect

networks using IEEE 802.3, EthernetVersion 1 orVersion 2 equipment.A

Repeater Interface Controller (RIC) in the MRXI provides full 802.3

repeater capabilities integrated into a single chip. The MRXI transmits

re-timed data packets, regenerates the preamble, extends fragments, and

arbitrates collisions.

The MRXI automatically partitions problem segments, and reconnects

non-problem segments to the network. This feature minimizes the impact

on network operation resulting from a problem on one segment by

isolating the problem segment. Only devices on the problem segment are

affected.When the problem is solved, the MRXI automatically reconnects

the isolated segment to the network.

Since the MRXI utilizes polarity detection and correction, the twisted pair

connections are not sensitive to signal polarity. The network will still

function properly with the (+) and (–) lines within a pair reversed.

Operating in this condition is not recommended and if this condition is

discovered, the segment should be removed from the network and wired

correctly by a technician. This reduces the potential for problems in the

future if equipment changes are made. Connector pinouts are provided in

Chapter 2,

Installation Requirements / Speciﬁcations

You can conﬁgure the two front panel serial ports to support an SNMP

proxy for Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) or the Serial Line

Internet Protocol (SLIP). MIB II and RMON support are built into the

MRXI for network analyzer functionality. In addition, Cabletron’s

Distributed LAN Monitor (DLM), a software option for the MRXI,

provides a method for locally polling and monitoring devices on a LAN to

minimize network management trafﬁc on an enterprise, campus, or wide

area network.

The MRXI uses Flash EEPROMs that allow you to download new and

updated ﬁrmware using Cabletron Systems Remote

LANVIEW/Windows, version 2.3 or later or any device using BOOTP or

TFTP protocols.

The front panel of the MRXI also has a reset switch to initialize the

processor.

1.4 LANVIEW LEDS AND LCD DISPLAY

Cabletron Systems’LANVIEW Status Monitoring and Diagnostics

System is a convenient troubleshooting tool that helps you diagnose

power failures, collisions, cable faults, and link problems.

The front panel LCD display provides information about the MRXI such

as power up diagnostics, revision levels, MAC and IP addresses, and error

alerts.

1.5 LOCAL MANAGEMENT

There are two RJ-45 ports on the front panel of the MRXI that let you

access Local Management by connecting a DEC VT

™

320 terminal or a

PC using VT320 emulation software. Refer to Chapter 5,

Local

Management

1.6 NETWORK MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

The MRXI can be controlled and managed by any SNMP network

management system. These include:

• Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM

• Cabletron Systems Remote LANVIEW

/Windows

™

• Cabletron Systems Remote LANVIEW

for SunNet

™

Manager

• Third Party SNMP compliant Network Management Packages

The MRXI network management capabilities provide the necessary

management tools for the MRXI to operate at its full capacity.Your ability

to set up parameters with network management ensures optimal

performance of the MRXI.

For example, you can gather a large amount of statistical information

about the MRXI, including the number of:

• Packets • Receive Collisions

• Transmit Collisions • Giant Packets

• Runt Packets • Misaligned Packets

• CRC Errors • Out of Window Collisions

• Bytes Received
