v Additional Token Ring only wiring scenario
Figure 4-2. Token Ring only wiring scenario with additional connections.
Additional connections to the Token Ring LAN may be made to expand the
connectivity beyond the local Hardware Management Console and Support
Elements.
If connections to previous generations of Enterprise Server systems are desired,
they may be connected using the MAU in the system or they may be connected
using Token Ring-to-Token Ring bridges.
If connection to the enterprise LAN is desired, it is recommended that a Token
Ring bridge be installed to isolate the Hardware Management Console and
Support Elements from other systems.
If connection to a central site focal point is desired, a local control unit can be
attached to the LAN.
