Token Ring

Looking back at the initial selection field, the Network Designer locates the non-intelligent stackable devices and examines them for compliance with the needs of the network. The STH-22/24 non-intelligent stackable hub supports UTP cabling, and provides either 12 or 24 ports of station connectivity. The addition of an STH-24 to the STHI-24 already in the design would supply 48 ports of Token Ring station connectivity and four RI/RO ports for future links if required. The STHI-24 could also support the addition of up to three more STH devices, accommodating up to 72 additional station connections. The network, as configured, would look like Figure 8-1.
