The Router provides a cost effective solution for connecting a single Token Ring device (through a Media Access Unit) to an Ethernet network. Devices such as printers, PCs, digital copiers and internet fax machines that have a Token Ring network connection are provided with direct Ethernet access; ideal for Ethernet networks that have no Token Ring segment.
Ethernet connection is made with an RJ-45 connector configured to allow a crossover cable to run to the 10baseT Ethernet Network.
Token Ring connection is made using a type 1 cable on a 9-way DB connector or type 3 cable on an RJ-45 connector.
The router has the ability to automatically sense which Token Ring connection is used and the Token Ring speed at either 4MHz or 16MHz.
The router is configured and managed remotely using Ringdale’s PeripheralVision® network management software that can be installed on any Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP PC on the Token Ring network.
