Re: Help,token ring connection without mau [7:61954]
Not to mention that a TR card goes through a lobe test before attempting insertion into the ring. The lobe test is effectively a loopback at the MAU, a crossover cannot do this. rgds Marc Priscilla Oppenheimer wrote: > > ha wrote: > > > > hi > > can 2 token ring interface direct connected with a crcoss > > cable.i've > > carefully read the pinout at CCO and make sure it's right,but > > it did not > > work. > > must i buy a MAU to let them work correctly? > > thanks for your help > > Token Ring uses an "active repeater," i.e. a MAU.

I'm looking for a couple of MAUs with 4 cables, a couple of Token Ring PC cards, and maybe a PCMCIA Token Ring card. Basically, I need something for my 2x2502 so I can hook up a PC at one end and another at the other to do some bridging, DLSW scenarios. Thanks Albert _ Do You Yahoo!?

Buy a token ring filter to change the DB-9 to RJ-45. Then you can patch with any regular CAT 5 patch cable. www.pacificcable.com has them I think.

RE: 2502 Token Ring interface what type of MAU & Cable? [7:16978]
You need an adapter called a media filter. Anyway it looks like the DB9 to RJ45 adapter you use to connect your computer to a console cable. However it has some coils in it so best to purchase the correct item. Places like DataComm Warehouse most likely have them. Try a search on google or check the GroupStudy archives.

Re: 2513 to MAU RJ-45 connection? [7:16426]
Hi All, I just cut and paste the following FYI. Actually, there is such an animal as a Token Ring crossover cable. You are correct that you can't use one to "back to back" Token Ring ports. They are used in our environment for a direct station attachment (Cisco router ports) to Bay Networks C100 Tokenspeed switch ports. The RJ-45 pin outs are: 1-->1 2-->2 3-->4 4-->3 5-->6 6-->5 7-->7 8-->8 Hope this help and save some time. anyong ""EA Louie"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Check the archives at www.groupstudy.com for token ring crossover - someone > has a way of doing that and I think they posted the solution back in March > or April of this year. > > - Original Message - > From: Engelhard M.

Re: 2513 to MAU RJ-45 connection? [7:16426]
If you don't stick with the IBM MAU and the Type 1 patch cable, use a token ring media filter (DB-9 to RJ-45). Some of them come with the cable already connected, and some of them look like the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial converter that you use for a console connection (with the RJ-45 jack), which you can connect to your MAU via a Cat5 patch cable. - Original Message - From: chris klebl To: Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 3:22 PM Subject: 2513 to MAU RJ-45 connection?

IBM 8226 MAU [7:13212]
Does anyone have a spare IBM 8226 MAU they wish to sell (non listed on eBay except one in a packet with two 2502s)? I've already got two 2502s and one MAU, but want to be able to have both interfaces up and run RSRB via Serial interfaces. I can't think of a way to keep both interfaces up/up without a MAU, so adding another MAU to the lab seems to make sense. It bites that source-bridge commands don't work loopbacks (that'd work for what I want to practice).

RE: Cable connection from a 2502---> Andrew mau?? [7:11961]
Transmit pairs are 3 and 6, and Receive are 4 and 5 for Token Ring RJ45 interfaces. Fabricate a patch cable pinned out to the 568-B wiring standard on one end, and change the other end to cross transmit an receive pairs. End A Pin 1 OrangeWhite Pin 2 Orange Pin 3 GreenWhite Pin 4 Blue Pin 5 BlueWhite Pin 6 Green Pin 7 BrownWhite Pin 8 Brown End B Pin 1 OrangeWhite Pin 2 Orange Pin 3 BlueWhite Pin 4 Green Pin 5 GreenWhite Pin 6 Blue Pin 7 BrownWhite Pin 8 Brown That would provide a crossover patch cable for token ring to directly connect two token ring devices. Another approach, if you're interested, is to fabricate a loopback plug. Use the same concept, but apply it to a single RJ45 plug. What you should end up with is a plug that has one wire connecting pin 3 to pin 5, and pin 4 to pin 6. See if that will put your interface in to looped mode when you do a show interface. Hope this helps.

RE: Cable connection from a 2502---> Andrew mau?? [7:11961]
Hold on before you do anything. If you connect something wrong to your MAU, there's a great chance of burning one of the fuses in there, so be sure you have the right cable and converter. The media filter is a converter that plugs in to the DB9, and that has a jack for an RJ45 cable. Once you got that, you can use a normal (straight through) CAT5 cable to your MAU. I am not familiar with your MAU, but if it's not an advanced one, you might have to place a CAT5 cable from the OUT port to the IN port in order to "close" the ring.

Re: IBM 8228 MAU
Please correct me if i am wrong here, but isn't it required to connect RI to RO to form the ring ? I always kept them connected together when using the MAU in a lab environment.

True, true, but it certainly beats the $38.00 that they charge at the local electronics store.

RE: MAU
Folks, Please be aware that if you buy one of these MAUs listed below you will need to use the proprietary weird ugly IBM cables with the MAU. You can't use standard cat 5 cables. Just thought you should know. You can buy the cables off of eBay of course, and if you do, these MAUs work quite well for a Cisco lab. John Day FWIW, I just make contact with the folks below. The have MAU for $5 + $5 shipping. I don't know these folks from Adam, but I ordered one a couple of days ago. I figure even if it doesn't work out I'm only out $10. The following is the email I got from them: -Original Message- From: Computer Surgeons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 5:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: I have several IBM 8228 Token ring hubs. no scratches, etc. on them but not still in the boxes.

IBM 8228 MAU Question
Hi; Currently, I orderd a IBM 8228 MAU and a media filter, not yet arrived. 1) What else do I need to connect my Cisco 2504 (DB9) and Cisco 2521 (Support UTP, STP)? Any special cable that I need? 2) Is this possibe for a "Type 1DB9 9 (male) to UTP cable" connect from the MAU to cisco 2504?

RE: MAU
try ebay there are usually some there. You will probably need an IBM 8228 and the correct cables OR you can get RJ45 to token ring converters and plugged them into the IBM 8228. The converter part numbers are AM 017 Token Ring Direct. -Original Message- From: Mark Rose [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22 January 2001 15:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MAU I was just given a Cisco 2504 router to use.

RE: MAU
See if you can get an old Synoptics or Bay MAU - they should be relatively inexpensive - also, make sure you get the one's with RJ45 connectors to make your life easier. Really, ANY functioning MAU should work - start surfing Ebay. -Original Message- From: Mark Rose [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 9:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MAU I was just given a Cisco 2504 router to use.

Ebay has alot of them. Ebay also has alot of TR nics as well, and a few mau/nic package deals. I prefer the 1U models, but they are more expensive. Most MAU's seem to be 2U.

Token Ring MAU
I haven't done Token Ring in years, but I'm putting my home lab together. Does anybody have any suggestions for a low-cost MAU and some NICS.

Re: MAU trouble shooting
Could the MAU be a 4-Mbps MAU by any chance? I see that your token ring interface on your router is set to 16 Mbps.
