token A sequence of bits passed from one device to another on a token ring
network that signifies permission to transmit over the network. The
token consists of a starting delimiter, access control field, and end
delimiter. If a device has data to transmit, it appends the data to the
token (D).
token ring A local area network (LAN) configuration where devices attach to a
network cable in a closed path or ring. A token (unique sequence of
bits) circulates on the ring to allow devices to access the LAN for data
transmission (D). See also
