Physical Description
Figure 1-16
All TRIPs, regardless of whether they provide two or four ports, contain the bank of LEDs shown in
Figure 1-16. As with the other interface processors, the enabled LED lights when the TRIP is
enabled for operation. The three LEDs for each port indicate the following:

•
•
For complete descriptions of the LED states, refer to the appendix "Reading LED Indicators." The
TRIP is available with two or four ports. Up to five TRIPs can be installed in available interface
processor slots for a maximum of 20 Token Ring ports. Each port requires a media access unit
(MAU) to connect the DB-9 TRIP connectors to the external Token Ring networks.
For descriptions of Token Ring connectors and MAUs, refer to the section "Token Ring Connection
Equipment" in the chapter "Preparing for Installation." For descriptions of Token Ring network
connections refer to the section "Token Ring Connections" in the chapter "Installing the Router."

FDDI Interface Processor (FIP)

The FIP contains a 16-mips processor for high-speed (100 Mbps) interface rates and the industry
standard AMD SuperNet chipset for interoperability. Figure 1-17 shows a multimode/multimode
FIP on the left and a single-mode/multimode FIP on the right. The FIP supports single attachment
