1.4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Cabletron Systems 3T01-04 and 3T01-02 modules connect the ATX to a 4
or 16 Mbps Token Ring network. The modules enable connectivity to
FDDI, Ethernet, and Token Ring Networks, and can be configured to
support Transparent Spanning Tree, Source Route, or Source Routing
Transparent Bridging. The ATX is also able to translate higher level
protocols to allow communication between end-user devices on Token
Ring and end-user devices on FDDI or Ethernet. Protocols translated
include: TCP/IP, Novell NetWare, and AppleTalk Phase II.
The Token Ring module ports can be connected to one Token Ring
network. The module contains connectors for shielded twisted pair (STP)
and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. Each module has eighteen
LEDs which indicate the current status of the module and the Token Ring
networks. The offline button allows you to remove the module for
swapping.
Up to four Token Ring networks can be attached to either module. The
module is available in two models: STP (3T01-04) and UTP (3T01-02).
Each module contains four connectors (STP or UTP), 18 status LEDs,
and an offline button.
The Token Ring module may be installed in any of the five interface slots
and the ATX can simultaneously support up to five Token Ring modules.
If five of either the 3T01-04 or 3T02-04 modules are installed, up to 20
networks can be connected.
