A-4
To support mixed topologies, a Token Ring Access Point
would be installed to support a local Token Ring network
and an Ethernet Access Point would be installed to support
a local Ethernet network. In a mixed environment, the Token
Ring must be the root unit. The Aironet Ethernet and Token
Ring Access Points can then communicate with each other–
linking both types of networks into a single LAN.
If the existing network to which you are connecting the
Access Point is not Token Ring or Ethernet based, you can
install a Token Ring or Ethernet Network Interface Card
(NIC) in the file server or third-party Access Point to
accommodate other network topologies.
