Connecting
XNIC-T’RING
to the
Network
The XNIC-T’RING may be connected to your network using
shielded twisted pair (STP) cable with a DB-9 connector, or
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with an RJ-45 connector.
Figure 2.2 shows the location of the ports on the
XNIC-T’RING.
Figure 2.2 XNIC-T’RING Connection Panel
Caution
Never connect network cables to both the STP and UTP ports
on the XNIC-T’RING at the same time.
If you are connecting to an active Token Ring network, the
connection must be performed quickly to avoid interrupting
the network for a long period.
A Token Ring MAU (Multistation Attachment Unit)
connection is required to connect the XNIC-T’RING to a Token
Ring network. The MAU connection must match the speed
selected on the XNIC-T’RING. Refer to Figure 1.3
“Location of
JX1 and JX2 pins” (page 1-9) for the speed of the
XNIC-T’RING.
