Token Ring Network Option
Token Ring is an alternative network architecture to Ethernet architecture. Token Ring 
networks offer a high resistance to failure and are commonly used in large or high-
traffic network installations.
Token Ring networks operate by passing a network token around the electronic 
equivalent of a ring. The token is a data packet that circulates from one network node 
to another, controlling access to the network. In practice, each workstation is 
connected to a port on one or more media attachment units (MAUs) which act as 
network hubs for the ring connection.
This appendix describes the Token Ring option and cable connections, and refers you 
to the remaining configuration required for printing to the Fiery.
Fiery Token Ring option
The Fiery supports Token Ring networks that use IPX and TCP/IP protocols. To use 
the Fiery with a Token Ring network, a Token Ring network interface card provided by 
EFI must be installed in the Fiery. You can use either shielded twisted pair (STP) or 
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Connecting Token Ring hardware
The service/support center that installs the Fiery typically also installs the Token Ring 
option at the same time and configures the Fiery to enable printing.
