Figure 1-1. Hardware features of the TokenSpeed module

The module front panel contains eight RJ-45 connectors for the token ring ports and an array of port LEDs that indicate ring insertion and port activity. The TokenSpeed/MCP module also has a Mini DIN 8 connector for the serial MCP port.

For descriptions of the LEDs, see “TokenSpeed Module LEDs” on page 3-8. For cable and connector specifications, see Appendix B, “Cables.”
