INTRODUCTION
The MR9 functions include the following:
• Transmit re-timed data packets
• Regenerate the preamble
• Extend collision fragments
• Automatically partition problem segments
• Reconnect non-problem segments
The auto-segment/auto-reconnect feature ensures that if a problem
develops on a segment connected to the MR9, just those devices on
that segment are affected. When the problem is solved, those users
are automatically reconnected to the network.
The MR9 also incorporates Cabletron Systems’ LANVIEW Status
Monitoring and Diagnostic System. Should a problem arise, power
failures, collisions, cable faults or many other problems can be
diagnosed rapidly by scanning the LANVIEW indicators.
