Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the Bay Networks® 8-port TokenSpeed™ or TokenSpeed/MCP switch module. The TokenSpeed and TokenSpeed/MCP switch modules provide token ring connectivity for the Centillion 100™ and Centillion 50™ switches. In addition, a TokenSpeed/MCP module can provide the master control processing functions for a Centillion™ switch.

In this guide, the TokenSpeed module and TokenSpeed/MCP module are referred to collectively as the TokenSpeed module. Each model is referred to speciﬁcally when features and functions are unique to that particular model.

Purpose

This guide provides information about installing and using the TokenSpeed module. Conﬁguration of the TokenSpeed module is covered in Using SpeedView 2.1 for Windows. For more information about these guides, see “Related Publications” on page xv.

Audience

This guide is intended for local area network administrators with the following background:

•Familiarity with token ring network administration

•SpeedView for Windows: working knowledge of Windows

•SpeedView for UNIX: working knowledge of UNIX
