Product Description Product Description This section contains a detailed description of the Token Ring interface processor (TRIP). The TRIP, shown in Figure 1, provides two or four Token Ring ports for interconnection with IEEE 802.5 and IBM Token Ring media. The TRIP uses the IBM 16/4-Mbps chipset with an imbedded performance enhanced interface driver and 16.7 MHz bit slice processor for high speed processing. - Page 3 When a Token Ring interface is configured by using software commands, three LEDs for each port indicate the following: • 16 Mbps—Lights if the interface is operating at 16 Mbps. • 4 Mbps—Lights if the interface is operating at 4 Mbps. •...
- Page 4 Product Description Figure 3 Token Ring Type 3 Lobe Cable Connectors, DB-9 and RJ-11 Types Token Ring Physical Connections The term Token Ring refers to both IBM’s Token Ring Network, which IBM developed in the 1970s, and to IEEE 802.5 networks. The IEEE 802.5 specification was modeled after, and still closely shadows, IBM’s network.
- Page 5 In the typical Token Ring network shown in Figure 4, lobe cables connect each Token Ring station (TRIP port) to the MSAU (or MAU), and patch cables connect adjacent MSAUs (or MAUs) to form one large ring. Figure 4 Token Ring Network Physical Connections MAU or MSAU Ring Stations...

Installation Prerequisites This section provides a list of parts and tools you will need to perform the installation, and safety and ESD-prevention guidelines to help you to avoid injury and damage to the equipment. It also provides a detailed description of the online insertion and removal (OIR) function to help you perform online installation successfully and avoid error message and system restarts. - Page 12 Installation Prerequisites Telephone Wiring Safety Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling: • Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. • Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
- Page 13 Online Insertion and Removal—An Overview Online insertion and removal (OIR) allows you to remove and replace interface processors while the system is operating; you do not need to notify the software or shut down the system power. This section describes the mechanical functions of the system components and stresses the importance of following the correct procedures to avoid unnecessary restarts or card failures.
- Page 14 Installation Prerequisites The function of the ejector levers (see Figure 10) is to align and seat the card connectors in the backplane. Failure to use the ejectors and insert the interface processor properly can disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane. Follow the TRIP installation and removal instructions carefully, and review the following examples of incorrect insertion practices and results: •...
