SNA/Token Ring Link is composed of hardware and software:
The SNA/Token Ring Link uses the HP Token Ring HP-PB adapter card to connect to the token ring LAN. The SNA/Token Ring Link implements an IEEE 802.2 type II driver to handle connection-oriented traffic and IEEE 802.5 Token-Passing Ring Medium Access Control (MAC) deterministic access method. As a token ring allows an any-to-any connection, users on an HP 3000 can run different applications on different remote systems. Figure 1-5 “SNA/Token Ring Link Communications” shows how SNA/Token Ring Link and the SNA services implement HP 3000-to-IBM host or HP 3000-to-AS/400 communication.

For more-specific information, contact your Hewlett-Packard sales representative. You can run SNA/Token Ring Link on an HP 3000 Series 900 HP-Precision Bus (HP-PB) system that has at least 32MB of real memory. Depending on your system configuration, more memory might be required.
