2-7 Ring Speed Ring Speed The module defaults to a 16Mbps ring speed on all rings. This may be changed though local management. Multi-Ring Out Capability Any port of the module may be configured as a ring-out port through management software. In this configuration a stand-alone passive concentrator ...

3-1 Chapter 3 Operation The 9T122-24 MicroLAN Module provides connectivity between the front panel Token Ring(s) and the FDDI rings on the backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2). MMAC-Plus modules connect to either the Internal Network Bus (INB) or the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) bus. The 9T122-24 module connect...

Operation 3-2 Transparent Bridging Transparent Bridging is accomplished by building a Source Address Table (SAT) from source MAC/physical addresses and using the SAT to make forwarding decisions. The 9T122-24 prevents unnecessary network traffic from passing through the module by implementing two se...

3-3 Bridging 2. The receiving bridges append their own route information to the Route Information Field (RIF) in the MAC frame header and transmit the frame again. 3. Eventually, the original source device receives all of the ARE replies from the other end stations on the network. 4. From this infor...

Operation 3-4 Flexible Network Bus (FNB) The FNB consists of two dual FDDI networks, the FNB-1 and FNB-2, providing up to 400 Mbps of data bandwidth. These FDDI networks are 100% ANSI FDDI-compliant supporting SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY, and PMD standards. This allows the FNB to traverse multiple M...
