Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 User Manual

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.

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.

Do not change the state of Switch 7 unless you intend to reset 
the EMM-E6 user parameters to the factory default settings.

Do not change the state of Switch 8 unless you want to reset 
the EMM-E6 user-configured passwords to their factory default 
settings.
