Introduction
Chapter 1
What Is in This Chapter
This chapter describes the SPECTRUM Management Module for the
TSX-1620 Token Ring Switch. It also provides the model type name assigned
to the TSX-1620 in SPECTRUM.
TSX-1620 Token Ring Switch
The TSX-1620 is a standalone Token Ring switch that can be conÞgured to
support 8 or 16 Token Ring switch ports. The TSX-1620 provides server
centralization while maintaining logical server dedication to a speciÞc ring.
Additionally, the TSX-1620 offers a redundant load-sharing power supply, and
full wire speed performance with the capabilities and versatility of either a
workgroup or backbone switch.
The TSX-1620 Management Module includes a software emulation of the
actual device attributes and functionality. The TSX-1620 Management
Module Guide provides all the information necessary to manage the
TSX-1620 using SPECTRUM.
The TSX-1620 Management Module supports one model type, TSX1620, used
to represent the physical TSX-1620, the supported applications, and the
interfaces. The following chapters provide a description of the model and its
relationship to the views in SPECTRUM.
