Automatic Beacon Recovery Process wrong ring speed. If a ring speed mismatch is detected, the STH disables the port to keep the misconfigured station isolated from the ring and provides a simple visible LED signal (blinking red at the port’s LED) to indicate to the user that Speed Fault Protection has disabled the port. The port remains disabled until the ring speed mismatch condition is removed or resolved. Active Circuitry On each TCU port, STH hubs provide active circuitry wh

Related Manuals By default, each of the STH hub’s TCU ports is configured to its STN (station) setting to support concentrator lobe connections to stations. Through Local Management, any TCU port may be reconfigured to its RO (Ring Out) setting to support connections to passive MAU (Multi- Station Access Unit) workgroups. Improved Protection from Beaconing The STH provides enhanced reliability for existing networks which use passive MAUs because Multiple Ring Out TCUs allow fo

CHAPTER 2 REQUIREMENTS & SPECIFICATIONS This chapter describes network guidelines, power requirements, and operating specifications for the STH. Before installing the STH, read this chapter and confirm that the network meets the requirements and conditions specified in this chapter. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in poor network performance. 2.1 General Considerations All devices connected to the STH must meet IEEE 802.5 Token Ring specifications. Maximum Number

General Considerations to re-route cabling away from potential noise sources, or to ensure that the electrical wiring in the area is properly wired and grounded, or to replace connectors along affected segments. Temperature The attenuation of PVC-insulated cable varies significantly with temperature. Check the cable manufacturer’s specifications. Plenum- rated cables are strongly recommended in areas where temperatures exceed 40˚C. Under such conditions, plenum-rated cables ensure that

Cable Specifications • Where practical, dedicated cable should be used for Token Ring signals. • Work area wall plates and outlets used for the Token Ring network should be clearly labeled as Token Ring network lobe connections. 2.2 Cable Specifications Take care in planning and preparing the cabling and connections for the network. The susceptibility of the LAN’s cables to crosstalk and noise determines the network’s error rate, and thus, the reliability of data propagation

UTP Lobe Lengths UTP cabling to any non-Token Ring network conductors (telephone, etc.) or ground. If in doubt, test wiring before using. 2.3.2 UTP Lobe Lengths The physical length of the cable connecting a station to a TCU port on the concentrator is referred to as the lobe length. The maximum lobe length attainable with the concentrator, under ideal conditions, is shown in Table 2-2. Cable routing, connector attenuation, noise, and crosstalk can adversely affect the maximum lobe length.
