You can upgrade the TRXI-22 and TRXI-42 to twenty-four ports using 
a twelve port upgrade kit available from Cabletron Systems 
(Cabletron Part Number TRXI-24-UGKIT or TRXI-44-UGKIT). 
The TRXI provides two additional ports for Ring In and Ring Out 
connections. These ports support Cabletron’s Token Ring Port 
Interface Modules (TPIMs). TPIMs provide full repeater functionality. 
They are not included with the TRXI, but can be ordered separately 
from Cabletron. Table 1-2 lists each TPIM.

TRXI FEATURES
Local Management
 
Local Management provides the tools to manage the TRXI and all of 
its attached segments. You access Local Management by connecting a 
Digital Equipment Corporation VT™ 320 series terminal or a PC 
using VT320 emulation software to the TRXI’s COM 1 port.
 
LCD and Reset Button
 
The LCD provides status information about the TRXI such as power 
up diagnostics, revision levels, serial numbers, and error alerts. The 
TRXI also has a Reset Button to initialize the processor. Both the LCD 
and the Reset Button are located on the front panel of the TRXI.
 
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.
 
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.
 
COM Port Applications
 
The front panel COM 1 port supports Local Management applications. 
Future capabilities for TRXI’s serial ports include an SNMP proxy for 
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), the Serial Line Internet 
Protocol (SLIP), and Modem.
