Key Customer Benefits

• High-speed Token-Ring switching solution (adaptive cut-through further reduces latency)

• AutoSense and auto-configuration capabilities

• TokenPipe and TokenProbe capabilities

• IBM’s patented, adaptive cut-through switching technology, enabling the switch to adapt to changing network conditions

• Redundant power supplies and cooling fans (Model 800 only)

• Flexible configuration with rich functionality provided by the UFCs

• FDX Token-Ring support, enabling the doubling of network access bandwidth in a cost-effective manner

• Source-route switching, easing the configuration burden for administrators

• Source-routing bridging, allowing external bridges to be replaced, thereby reducing costs

• Network management capabilities

• Compatibility with all current IBM Token-Ring networking products
