PhaserShare Series B Token Ring card

The PhaserShare Series B Token Ring port conforms to the IEEE 802.5 standard.
With the PhaserShare Series B Token Ring card, you can connect the printer
directly to a Token Ring network using shielded twisted pair (STP; IBM Type 1)
or unshielded twisted pair (UTP; IBM Type 3) cables. Contact your dealer to
obtain adapters and cables.

To fully comply with EMI specifications, the use of shielded or screened cables
may be required. "Shielded" describes IBM-defined cables used with the DB-9
connector. "Screened" describes cables that are electrically similar to Category
4 UTP, but with an added shield or screen.
When a PhaserShare Series B card is purchased initially with the printer, it is
installed at the factory. When a PhaserShare Series B card is purchased later as
an upgrade kit, follow the installation instructions that are shipped with the
card.
When a PhaserShare Series B Token Ring card is installed in the printer, the
printer's built-in Ethernet connector is disabled.
