Token Ring Menu
Network Administrator's Tip
For information about configuring the token-ring attachment, please see

IBM

Network Printers: Ethernet and Token Ring Configuration Guide

, which comes with
the Token-Ring Network Interface Card. Chapter 9, “Setting Printer Network
Addresses” on page 201 describes how to define the IP address, default gateway
address, and subnet mask from the operator panel.
Use the Token Ring Menu to configure the token-ring attachment. The following table
describes the settings you can change from the Token Ring Menu. An asterisk (*) next
to a value means it is the factory default. This menu appears only if you have the
token-ring attachment installed.
Notes:
1. To select a new value, press the Enter key when the value is displayed in the
message display area. An asterisk (*) appears next to the value in the message
display area, indicating that is now active.
2. If you are unfamiliar with using the operator panel to work with menus, please read
“Using the Operator Panel Keys” on page 30 and “Navigating Menus — Two
Examples” on page 31 before continuing.
