Token Ring Port Signals
A network interface cable provides the connection between the 9-pin Token Ring connectors on the
TRIP and a media access unit (MAU). The 9-pin connector at the TRIP end, and the MAU connector
at the network end, are described in "Token Ring Connection Equipment" in the chapter "Preparing
for Installation." Table A-6 lists the signals for the DB-9 Token Ring connector used on the TRIP.

FDDI Optical Bypass Switch Signals
Table A-5 lists the signal descriptions for the mini-DIN optical bypass switch available on the
multimode/multimode FIP (CX-FIP-MM) and single-mode/single-mode FIP (CX-FIP-SS). The
mini-DIN-to-DIN adapter cable (CAB-FMDD) allows connection to an optical bypass switch that
uses a DIN connector (which is larger than the mini-DIN on the FIP). For descriptions of FDDI
network configurations and equipment, refer to the section "FDDI Connection Equipment" in the
chapter "Preparing for Installation" and to the section "FDDI Connections" in the chapter "Installing
the Router."
