Identifying Source Routing
The Source Routing menu allows you to identify the default type of
source routing broadcast information in outgoing frames. It is used
when a previous route cannot be found in the source routing table.
» Note:
This menu is applicable to Token-Ring configuration only.
Default 16 Mbit/Sec
Effectivity The CrownNet interface must be reset for changes to take
effect. Use the Administration/Communications/
xxxxxxxx NIC/
CrownNet/Common/Soft Reset menu (where
xxxxxxxx is
either Resident or Optional).
Notes This cannot be configured from CrownAdmin 3 unless you use
remote console.
Make sure that you disconnect the printer from the network
before you change the ring speed.

Choices All—Send as an all-routes-explorer frame, also known as an
all-routes-broadcast frame.
This setting is useful if your network doesn’t have a
spanning tree, where frames can be exchanged using
single-route-broadcast frames, or if large amounts of data
are being transmitted and the spanning tree offers a
nonsatisfactory route. This setting creates a higher network
load than either Auto or Single in the route determination
phase, but it is more likely to result in the best choice of
route.
