Cabling for Token Ring
The Token Ring interfaces for the CNA-8000 each support both, RJ45 and 9-pin D
sockets. Each interface card supports a single interface so only one cable should be
plugged in at a time. RJ45 connectors should be inserted until you feel it click into place.
9-pin D connectors should be secured with captive screws. The Token Ring interface of
the CNA-8000 defaults to auto-detect the speed and can be plugged into a switch or a hub
running at 4 Mhz, 16 Mhz, or 100 Mhz. Note that the interface can be reconfigured to run
at a specific speed if desired. It should be noted that when connecting the CNA-8000 to a
Token Ring switch, it may be necessary to set the Token Ring to a specific speed in order
for the CNA-8000 Token Ring interface card to insert into the ring. If the interface does
not appear to be inserting automatically, try reconfiguring for the specific speed and try
again.
