Using the BRIM User’s Guide

 

The Fast Ethernet BRIM has a user-conÞgurable Fast 
Ethernet Port Interface Module (FEPIM) port that 
provides either 100BASE-TX connectivity (via an RJ-45 
interface) or 100BASE-FX connectivity (via an MMF 
interface with an SC connector).

 

The FDDI Bridge/Router Interface Module is a 
translational FDDI to Ethernet bridge, via media 
conÞgurable Fiber Port Interface Module (FPIM) 
connectors using MMF or SMF Þber, or UTP or STP 
copper. The BRIM-F6 supports the IETF FDDI MIB and 
dual homing. Its DAS attachment is ANSI-compliant.

 

The WAN Bridge/Router Interface Module supports 
Synchronous, T1 and E1 connections. It carries PPP, 
Frame Relay and X.25 protocols through its WAN Port 
Interface Modules.
