Introducing Token Ring 3000/iX Network Link by Jane Yuan Information Networks Division Token Ring 3000/iX Network Link provides a native Token Ring connection for the HP 3000 Series 900 system with HP-PB (HP Precision Bus or NIO) backplane. This product can be used to connect your HP 3000 Series 900 system to a Token Ring network that is compatible with either IEEE802.5 or IBM Token Ring or both. Your HP 3000 Series 900 system running Token Ring 3000/iX Network Link can act as a Server for your PC Token Ring networks using either the TCP/IP or the Novell Netware IPX transport. The networking services available include LAN Manager/XL, Novell Netware, and ARPA and Network Services. The product also supports networking applications developed using NetIPC or a subset of the 4.3 BSD Socket. The product supports 4 Mbps (megabit-per-second) or 16 Mbps link speed. This allows you to easily integrate HP systems into your existing Token Ring networks. Additionally, if your networks are currently configured at 4 Mbps, HP Token Ring 3000/iX is able to support 16 Mbps when you migrate your networks to the higher data link speed. The only modification required at that time is to set a jumper on the card to the new link speed. Token Ring 3000/iX Network Link supports shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. Token Ring 3000/iX Network Link includes the Token Ring network adapter (a half-sized HP-PB/NIO card), Token Ring driver, TCP/IP Transport and hardware and software manuals. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent and Basic/Incoming Virtual Terminal (VT) service are bundled with the product.
