You know I've usually found that the folks who call it "broken ring" really
haven't studied it too well. Its a damn nice
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 Ringerr Token Ring) Wrap is for
management, you can configure MAUs

I have limited exposure with TR (but more to come with my new job) but I do
know a little. I believe TR uses pins 3, 4, 5, and 6 pins. Standard cat 5
will work cause the pins in the middle are lined up. RO(ring out)is where
you connect the MAU or MSAU to the RI(ring in) of the next MAU/MSAU. No
Lori- it's usually very cheap & easy. Funny thing (from the Ebay prices) it
appears people are steering clear of Token Ring. OK- you need a MAU (which
you have), 2 cables (DB9 to that funny IBM connector), or 1 cable standard
cable & 1 for the NIC (which can either be RJ45 or DB9). Your connect
Hi
There are two types of TR MAU (hubs) out there. One has the old block style
connector, the other has a RJ-45 style port. Hopefully you have the later,
if not they are real cheap on ebay.
Anyway, (assuming the RJ-45 style) a straight regular old ethernet cable
between the PC NIC and the hub an
