Ringdale’s Token Ring - Ethernet TCP/IP Router provides a solution for connecting a single Token Ring device (through a Media Access Unit) to an Ethernet network. This allows a device with a Token Ring network connection (for example Printers, Laptops and network peripherals) to be attached to an Ethernet network. - Page 7 Connecting the Router to the Ethernet Network Insert a Crossover RJ-45 10baseT cable from the Ethernet network into the RJ-45 port on the Ethernet panel. The Green RX LED will blink when the router receives data from the Ethernet network. The Red TX LED will blink when the router transmits data to the Ethernet network.
- Page 8 Connect the power cable to the Power Supply socket on the Ethernet panel of the router. Connect the other end of the power cable to the mains electricity supply. Configuring the Router Once the router is installed it is necessary to configure the device.

Page 11: Passwords
Passwords It is strongly recommended that Passwords are set for access to all router property pages in PeripheralVision ® because of the sensitive nature of the information that can be configured. If required, access to set/change the information on the router property page can be restricted using the Change Password button. - Page 12 IP Address Enter here the IP address of the subnet/range you want to route to (enter a zero in the last segment of the IP address for each range).

8 Once the routing table is finished, ensure that each separate device that is using the router as a gateway has the correct IP address (the one set up for it in the routing table) entered as the gateway (for example, for a PC on the Token Ring side to be able to communicate with devices on the Ethernet network, the router’s Local IP Address will need to be entered as that PC’s gateway - for a device on the Ethernet network the router’s first... -

will open the above window with the IP address you wish to edit. Make the changes and click on OK. To delete an IP address from the list, click on the required address to select it and then click on Delete. The IP address will be removed. - Page 15 The router will autosense the Token Ring speed of 4MHz or 16MHz. This is the default setting. In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to manually set the Token Ring speed. To do this, un-clip the casing of the unit (ensuring that it is disconnected from the power supply).
