Token Ring Port Interface Modules
 
TPIMs are optional features that let you expand your trunk 
connections using different media types. TPIMs have embedded 
repeaters and retime all data. Cabletron offers a variety of TPIMs for 
trunk Ring In or Ring Out connections. Table 1-2 lists each TPIM.
 
Ring Speed Switch
 
The Ring Speed Switch lets you select ring speeds of either 4 Mbps or 
16 Mbps. The factory default setting is 16 Mbps.
 
Flash EEPROMs
 
The TRXI uses Flash EEPROMs that allow you to download new and 
updated firmware using Cabletron System’s Remote LANVIEW/
Windows, version 2.3 or later or any device using BOOTP or TFTP 
protocols.
 
LANVIEW LEDs
 
Cabletron Systems’ LANVIEW LED Status Monitoring and 
Diagnostics System is a convenient troubleshooting tool that helps you 
diagnose power failures, RI/RO status, cable faults, ring speed, link 
problems, and network activity.
 
Cabletron’s Distributed LAN Monitor
 
Cabletron Systems’ Distributed LAN Monitor (DLM) is a software 
option for the TRXI. DLM provides a method for locally polling and 
monitoring devices on a local area network to minimize network 
management traffic on an enterprise, campus, or wide area network.
