Closets 1, 2, and 3 each contain an MMAC-FNB with an EMM-E6,
MIMs, and RIC MIMs operating on Ethernet channels A, B, and C.
Within each closet, each Ethernet channel is separately repeated, and each
is dedicated to a specific set of network users (for example, Ethernet A
contains Novell users, Ethernet B contains TCP/IP and NFS users, and
Ethernet C contains DECnet users).
