6.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to operate, the Model IM2RC/I-100B must be installed in the

ically deleted from the MAC address table if they experience an inactivity
of 8 minutes.

power from the NetLink rack power bus. Therefore, it is powered up as
soon it is plugged into the rack and the rack power supply is turned on.

activity status of the 10/100BaseT interface. Figure 9 (below) shows the
