INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems BRIM-F6 User’s Guide . This
manual describes features, explains installation procedures, and provides
specifications for the BRIM-F6 — Cabletron Systems FDDI Bridge/
Router Interface Module (BRIM).
The BRIM-F6 resides in, and provides additional connectivity/
functionality to, various Cabletron MIMs and hubs (e.g., the EMM-E6,
ESXMIM, NBR-420/620 or MicroMMAC). The BRIM-F6 utilizes two
FPIM (FDDI Port Interface Module) slots to provide you with the option
of using multimode fiber optic, single mode fiber optic, unshielded
twisted pair, or shielded twisted pair transceiver ports based on your
