Token Ring RJ-45 Twisted Pair Configuration
If twisted pair cable is used, the twisted pair cable and RJ-45 jacks must
be configured as straight through.
The two active pairs in a Token Ring network are pins 4 & 5 and
pins 3 & 6. Use only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white &
white/blue, orange/white & white/orange) for the active pins.
