Connecting to a Token Ring Interface
You can connect a token ring cable to any ARN base module or expansion module
that contains a token ring interface option. Each of these interface options offers
two token ring interface types: an STP interface or a UTP interface.
Connecting to the STP Interface
To connect a token ring shielded twisted pair (STP) cable to the base module or
expansion module token ring interface:
1.
Attach the 9-pin D-SUB plug to the token ring STP interface (Figure 1-9).
Figure 1-9. Connecting a Token Ring STP Cable
2.
Secure the token ring cable using the capture screws.
Note:
You can use only one token ring interface on an ARN base or expansion
module at any time. For example, you can connect to either the STP interface
or the UTP interface on a base module, but you cannot use both interfaces at
the same time.
