3.6 PRE-INSTALLATION TEST
Before installing the EMM-E6 in a live network, test the module in a
controlled situation to ensure that it is repeating and bridging packets. You
can perform this test with two workstations (see Figure 3-6), using an
MMAC-FNB, or MMAC-MFNB, installed with an EMM-E6 and a Media
Interface Module (MIM) as follows:
1. Install the EMM-E6 and any MIM (e.g., TPMIM, THN-MIM,
CXRMIM, FORMIM, etc.) into a non-networked MMAC.
2. Connect the first workstation to an EMM-E6 EPIM or BRIM.
3. Connect the second workstation to the MIM using the appropriate
cable or transceiver.
4. Assign the EMM-E6 a valid IP address through Local Management.
5. Designate the first workstation as a file server and the second one as
the client (refer to the workstation manuals for establishing one as a
file server and one as a client.).
