If the DB9 - RJ45 connector is a type 3, you are fine. You use a
standard CAT 5 Cable between MAU and router. The Ring in Ring out is
for connecting multiple MAUs together. (There's no concept of a
crossover cable in Broken Ring....err Token Ring) Wrap is for
management, you can configure MAUs to only allow certain MAC addresses,
and if a mac address is used that isn't int the list, the port will wrap
(go inactive).

Subject: "Token Ring in home lab" questions
Dug through the archives and found very little on setting up Token Ring
in a home lab. I'm still confused. How is this done? Any good sites that
I can go to find out this information?
Among other equipment, I've got an SMC MAU, a Token Ring NIC installed
in a PC, DB-9 to RJ45 media filter, and a 2504. What type of cable do I
need between the media filter on the router and the MAU? I know it's not
a standard Cat 5 cable because Token Ring uses different pins than
Ethernet. What about the cable between the PC and the MAU? The NIC card
can handle either RJ-45 or DB-9.
On the MAU, there are two ports that are labeled RO and RI with small
push button switches next to them to enable or disable "wrap". What are
these for?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lori
