Connecting to the Network
Connecting to a Token Ring Network
If you have a Cisco 2524 router, you can connect the router to your Token Ring network in
one of the following ways:
• Use a shielded Token Ring lobe cable to connect the Token Ring port (DB-9) to a media
attachment unit (MAU). To ensure agency compliance with electromagnetic emissions
requirements (EMI), make sure the cable is shielded. (See Figure 3-18.)
• Use a twisted-pair cable to connect the Token Ring port (RJ-45) to a Token Ring hub.
(See Figure 3-19.)
If the transmission rate of your Token Ring network is 4 Mbps, use a UTP cable. If the
transmission rate of your Token Ring network is 16 Mbps, use an STP cable.
