Ethernet End Device to Token Ring Bridge with TCP/IP support
Ringdale's Bridge for connecting one single TCP/IP Ethernet end-device to Token Ring networks
If you have a Token Ring network and you need to connect an Ethernet device, your solution is here!
The Ringdale Token Ring Bridge provides a cost efficient connection between any Ethernet device and a Token Ring network, replacing the need for an Ethernet segment on the Token Ring network.
Printers, Digital Copiers, Internet Fax Machines and Network Computers with built-in Ethernet connections can be directly connected to a Token Ring network. Its compact size means you can easily deploy it anywhere you have an Ethernet device and a Token Ring network.
Ringdale's Ethernet to Token Ring Bridge offers easy access for Ethernet devices to a Token Ring network where there is no Ethernet segment. Installation is quick and easy as the device does not require any setup or configuration. Once installed the Bridge will operate automatically.
An Ethernet connection is made with an RJ-45 connector, configured to allow a straight cable to run to any 10baseT Ethernet device. The connection to the Token Ring is made using a Type 1 cable on a 9-way DB connector or Type 3 cable on an RJ-45 connector. The Bridge has the ability to automatically sense which Token Ring connection is used and the Token Ring speed, at either 4MHz or 16MHz. It also autosenses the MAC address of the Ethernet device and stores it in its table while performing standard bridging functions, such as filtering and forwarding.
