Channel Attachment Connections; Token Ring Connections - Cisco 7000 Series Hardware Installation And Maintenance Manual

Caution
MII cables to one 100BaseT port adapter. On a single 100BaseT port adapter, only one network
connection can be used at one time. Only connect cables that comply with EIA/TIA-588 standards.

Channel Attachment Connections

Connecting bus and tag or ESCON cables between the CIP and a host processor is beyond the scope
of this publication. The specific CIP connection requirements are discussed in detail in the
configuration note Channel Interface Processor (CIP) Installation and Configuration (Document
Number 78-1342-xx, where xx is the latest version of the document), which ships with the CIP and
is also available on UniverCD.

Token Ring Connections

Each Token Ring interface connects to the ring through a MAU or a multistation access unit
(MSAU), which should already be connected to the ring. Connect the Type 1 or Type 3 lobe cables
to the appropriate TRIP ports and tighten the thumbscrews to secure the cable in the port and provide
strain relief. Then connect the network end of each lobe cable to the MAU or MSAU. For
descriptions of the connection equipment, refer to the section "Token Ring Connection Equipment"
in the chapter "Preparing for Installation."
