Connecting to Token-Ring Telemetry Networks

The Token-Ring option must be installed to connect the probe to a Token-Ring telemetry network.

CAUTION Connecting the Token-Ring interface to your network when the interface is configured to the wrong network speed (4Mb/16Mb) can cause disruption of all traffic on your network and it will prevent the probe from properly inserting into the ring.

You can configure the Token-Ring Speed from the Modify/View Configuration Values Menu. The probe is configured with a default setting for 16Mbps networks. Refer to “Token-Ring Telemetry Interface Configuration” on page 29 for information on changing this parameter.

You connect the Token-Ring interface to your network by using the appropriate cables. The probe has both RJ-45 and DB-9 connectors on the rear panel for connecting to Token-Ring networks. Figure 3-6 shows the back panel with the Token-Ring option installed.
