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 inser ting int o
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.
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 3-3 on page 51 shows the back panel
with the Token-Ring option installed.
