APPLICATIONS
This Appendix presents the following network applications as ex-
amples of how the TRMIM-10R may be used in a token ring network.
These are examples to help clarify features of the TRMIM-10R and
applications are NOT limited to those shown here.
• Adding to an existing Token Ring Network
• Separate Token Ring Networks in One MMAC
• Token Ring Networks Bridged Together
• MMAC with Ethernet and Token Ring Operating Simultaneously
B.1 ADDING TO AN EXISTING TOKEN RING NETWORK
Figure B-1 shows the addition of an MMAC with a TRMIM-12 and a
TRRMIM-16 into an existing token ring network. Here, the
TRRMIM-16 is used to insert an MMAC and its token ring products
into the ring. Any concentrator (with externally accessible trunk
ports) designed for use in an MMAC can be used. The Ring-In and
Ring-Out ports of the TRRMIM-16 are connected to Ring-In and Ring-
Out ports of the adjacent concentrators. The existing token ring
network could consist of many vendors' products.
