maximum flexibility and convenience in the design and operation of
your network. The enclosure provides space for one
Repeater/Management Module and up to five Media Interface
Modules (MIM™); or, by removing one of the five MIMs, you can add a
second, load-sharing power supply module.

This manual is an installation and reference guide. It lists the
features and options of the MMAC-M5FNB and explains how to
install the fan tray, power supply(ies), and security bars. You should
read through this manual prior to using the MMAC-M5FNB to gain a
full understanding of the MMAC-M5FNB and its capabilities.

1.2 USING THE MMAC-M5FNB MANUAL SET

Other manuals have been developed for the Repeater/Management
modules and for each MIM that can be installed in your
MMAC-M5FNB. These manuals explain how to install the individual
modules into the MMAC-M5FNB, how to attach cable segments to the
modules, and how to test those segments after they have been
installed. Specifications for all modules are included in each manual.

Additional manuals have been developed on how to use Cabletron
Systems’ Network Control Management software packages.

Each manual in this set assumes that you have a general working
knowledge of Ethernet or IEEE 802.3, 802.5, or FDDI type data
communications networks and their physical layer components.

1.3 GETTING HELP

1.4 THE MMAC-M5FNB MULTI MEDIA ACCESS CENTER

The Cabletron Systems MMAC-M5FNB is a complete modular
approach to integrated networks. The MMAC-M5FNB supports Local
Area Networks compliant to IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.5, and FDDI
standards. It also supports all of the Cabletron Systems Media
Interface Modules (MIMs).

A variety of IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.5, and FDDI compliant media can
be connected to the MMAC-M5FNB, including shielded and
unshielded twisted pair, fiber optic cable, thick or thin coaxial cable,
and standard AUI transceiver cable. Each media type has a MIM
which, when installed into the MMAC-M5FNB, is compatible with all
other MIMs installed in that unit. You can have complete network
integration of a variety of media through a single source.

The MMAC-M5FNB is designed so that network expansions or
changes in media types can be done without bringing down the entire
network. In a matter of minutes, you can add, change, or replace
MIMs without turning off the MMAC-M5FNB or using any special
tools. This design also allows the MMAC-M5FNB to adapt to
ever-changing industry standards. Figure 1-1 (following page)
illustrates an MMAC-M5FNB equipped with a variety of MIM cards.

CAUTION:

Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit

1.5 MMAC-M5FNB FEATURES

Universal Power Supply

The MMAC-M5FNB power supply senses and automatically adjusts to
the input voltage and frequency. No additional adjustments are
necessary.

Built-in Power Supply Protection

The power supply module(s) automatically powers down under any of
the following conditions: thermal overload (thermal protection);
shorted output (over current, or short circuit protection); or excess
output voltage (over voltage protection). The power supply will
automatically recover when a thermal overload condition is corrected;
when an over current or over voltage condition is corrected, the power
