Guide to Token Ring Routers
Find token ring routers for sale onlineAlthough critics of token ring systems point out that all stations need to be connected for the system to work, many businesses still use token ring to ethernet connections to get multiple work stations connected. Business managers might use token ring technology and computer token ring routers in situations like the following:
1. As part of a local token LAN system for connectivity to the Internet including a token ring and routers to manage it.
2. For a big group of workstations in the same building or general vicinity that could share a token ring and routers easily.
3. As part of a comprehensive upgrade of an office's networking technology to network token ring router systems.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Get Cisco token ring routers
Some tech purchasers argue no one knows systems like token routing better than Cisco. Among token ring router vendors, Cisco stands out. The company has come to dominate large parts of the technology industry, including the area of connectivity and routing. Take a look at Cisco models online and consider them for your office.
I recommend:
Check out the versatile connectivity and powerful processing of the Cisco 2612. Vendors call the Cisco 7500 series a "market leader" in token ring technology.
Get a 'connector' router to link ethernet to a token ring network router system
This feature of computer token ring routers is something upgrading buyers look for. You can find units designed to accommodate this connection from multiple vendors online. Use their product pages to find out how your connection can be best served.
I recommend:
Ringdale's TCP/IP router is part of an overall program to provide businesses with ethernet-to-token ring connectivity. Hewlett Packard's ethernet to token ring page will point you in the right direction.
Find hardware for controlling a token ring router network
When you have ethernet-to-token ring connectivity, you may also need other hardware to configure and maintain your 'internal' token ring network. (You'll also need to make sure all of the 'client' stations in the ring stay online). You can find other hardware like hubs and repeaters online from vendors who routinely set up businesses with token ring networks. You may also need additional software, like drivers, to install some products.
I recommend:
Try the token ring page from Cables and Networks for a long list of token ring hardware. Find out about what more you need for a token ring network at WildPackets. Browse token ring router suppliers according to the size and scope of your network.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Understand the network token ring router as part of your setup. Rather than just hiring for installation, it makes sense to at least have a rudimentary knowledge of how your system is set up. It will come in handy if you have to troubleshoot, or in the worst case, switch to a different system.
