Connecting the Smart Ringswitch Gigabit Module
The Smart Ringswitch Gigabit Module lets you connect your Ringswitch to a Gigabit Ethernet network. The
Translation Bridging solution provided in the Ringswitch allows for “any to any” connectivity letting Gigabit
Ethernet and token-ring end-stations talk directly without requiring any special drivers in these end-stations.
You can install the Smart Ringswitch Gigabit Module into one of the bottom three Option Module Slots of a
Smart Ringswitch Plus Chassis, or in the Option Module Slot of the Smart Ringswitch Express.
Connecting ports
The Smart Ringswitch Gigabit Module has one Gigabit Ethernet port with an SC fiber connector.
You can connect a Gigabit Ethernet port to any Gigabit Ethernet interface.
