Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 - Manual (Page 25)

Pre-Installation Test
EMM-E6 Installation Guide 3-5
Once the EMM-E6 resets, you can either use the defaults or re-enter
your own parameters. The EMM-E6 stores these parameters in
NVRAM when the device powers down. These parameters remain in
NVRAM until the state of the switch changes again.
• Switch 8: Password Defaults. Changing the state of this switch
(i.e., moving the switch from one position to another and leaving it
there) clears user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores
default passwords. Once reset you can use the defaults or re-enter your
passwords.
3.3 PRE-INSTALLATION TEST
Before installing the EMM-E6 in a live network, you may want to test the
module in a controlled situation to ensure that it is bridging traffic. You
can perform this test with two workstations (see Figure 3-2), using an
MMAC with an EMM-E6 and Ethernet Media Interface Module (MIM,
RMIM, or XMIM) installed and set up as follows:
1. Install the EMM-E6 into an MMAC that is not attached to a network.
2. Install an Ethernet Media Interface Module (MIM), Repeating Media
Interface Module (RMIM), or Port Assignment Media Interface
Module (XMIM) in the MMAC. Follow the installation instructions
found in the Installation or User’s Guide shipped with that product.
NOTE
Do not change the state of Switch 7 unless you intend to reset
the EMM-E6 user parameters to the factory default settings.
NOTE
Do not change the state of Switch 8 unless you want to reset
the EMM-E6 user-configured passwords to their factory default
settings.
