MIM Icon

This icon represents a Media Interface Module (MIM). There are two basic

types of MIMs that can be managed by the EMME/EMM-E6: Repeater MIMs

(RMIMs) and non-repeater MIMs.

The EMME/EMM-E6 manages the RMIMs located in the MMAC chassis

through Ethernet channels B, and C. RMIMs can repeat packets

autonomously without channeling them through the EMME/EMM-E6. The

members of the RMIM family designed to work with the EMME/EMM-E6 are:

FORMIM, CXRMIM, TPRMIM, and TPXMIM. Figure 2-4 shows an example

of a Repeater MIM icon.

The EMME/EMME-6 uses channel A on the MMAC backplane to transmit

and receive data from non-repeater MIMs (i.e., TRMIMs, FOMIMs,

THN-MIMs). The EMME/EMM-E6 provides repeater functionality for these

MIMs.
