M
ake the most of your Ethernet
devices with this adapter. It
lets you make cost-effective
connections between any
Ethernet device and a Token Ring
network.
With it, there’s no need to
add an Ethernet segment to your
Token Ring network. Printers,
digital copiers, Internet fax
machines, and network
computers with built-in Ethernet
connectors can be connected to
the Token Ring network directly.
Its compact size means you can
easily deploy it anywhere you
need an Ethernet device.
Because this adapter doesn’t
require a complex user setup or
configuration procedure,
installation is simple. And once
installed, the adapter operates
automatically. There’s no
software to learn and no
configuration parameters to set.
Simply connect the included
external power supply to the
Make cost-effective connections between any
Ethernet device and your Token Ring network.
Key Features
ETHERNET TO TOKEN RING ADAPTERS
adapter and make connections on
the adapter’s Ethernet device and
Token Ring sides. This is done
by inserting an RJ-45 10BASE-T
cable from your Ethernet device
into the RJ-45 port on the
adapter’s Ethernet panel side.
Then insert either a Type 3 cable
or a Type 1 cable from your Token
Ring network MAU into the RJ-45
or DB9 ports on the adapter‘s
Token Ring panel.
The adapter autosenses
which Token Ring connector
is being used and stores the
Ethernet device’s MAC address
in its table while performing
standard bridging functions, such
as filtering and forwarding.
You can monitor activity
via the adapter’s indicators. On
the Ethernet panel, a green
Receive LED blinks when the
adapter receives data from the
Ethernet device; a red Transmit
LED blinks when the adapter
transmits data to the Ethernet
device; and a yellow Activity LED
blinks whenever data is passed
between the Ethernet device and
the adapter. On the Token Ring
panel, a red Error LED lights when
an error on the Token Ring
network is detected; a green
Receive LED blinks when the
adapter receives data from the
network; and a red Transmit LED
blinks when the bridge transmits
data from the Ethernet device to
the Token Ring network.
By default, the adapter
autosenses Token Ring speeds
of 4 or 16 Mbps. But you can also
set it to operate in either speed
exclusively.

Recognize any of these
situations?
• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase
order number and the tech
refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s tech
support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data
Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the technical
support they need is extremely
important when choosing a
vendor. But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall purchase
price for a basic service and
support contract, the technical
support and service they receive
falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t
worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee
the best value and the best
support. You can even consult our
Technical Support Experts before
you buy if you need help selecting
just the right component for your
application.
