Token Ring uses an active repeater, i.e. a MAU. A NIC sends to its
downstream neighbor and receives from its upstream neighbor. For this to
happen, a relay, i.e. a MAU, must relay the bits. A MAU is basically a set
of relays.

Well, that's a convoluted way to say you need a MAU. You can probably get
one really cheap on e-Bay.

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.

Hi Pierre,

Yes, I am using IBM 8228 as the Token-Ring Hub, connecting
two Cisco 2612, with a straigth UTP cable. No problem so far,
the Token-ring interface can run on 16MB speed.

OT: Looking for token ring MAU Sydney [7:24120]

2001-10-25 Thread Albert Lu

Hello Group,

Sorry for the OT message. Just wanted to know if there's anyone in Sydney
looking to get rid of token ring equipment at a reasonable price. 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

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.

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.

 Scott,
Do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY from these clowns.  They're OVERPRICED and 
they will rip you off!!  I got media filters on ebay for $2.00-5.00.  Of 
course, if you want back-to-back Token Ring connections, you will also need
a
MAU.  If I were you, I would look for a Token Ring kit listing.  A lot of 
people sell their MAU with the cables included for CHEAP!!

2001-08-17 Thread EA Louie

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.

Here are your basic tradeoffs, including cabling, which is probably the most
crucial aspect of T/R

IBM MAU
Pro: patch cables easy to find (sometimes free), works well with native
(DB-9) T/R connector
Con: cabling bulkier (STP), relays tend to stick if MAU is jarred in
transit, requires RJ-45 to IBM Data Connector adapter at the MAU side to
work with UTP cabling

RJ-45 MAU
Pro:  cabling is normal Cat5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), works well with
PC NICs that have an RJ-45 port
Con:  need media filters to adapt DB-9 (on routers) to RJ-45

Re: 2513 to MAU RJ-45 connection? [7:16426]

2001-08-17 Thread anyong

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.

 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.

   Here are your basic tradeoffs, including cabling, which is probably
the
  most
   crucial aspect of T/R
  
   IBM MAU
   Pro: patch cables easy to find (sometimes free), works well with
native
   (DB-9) T/R connector
   Con: cabling bulkier (STP), relays tend to stick if MAU is jarred in
   transit, requires RJ-45 to IBM Data Connector adapter at the MAU side
to
   work with UTP cabling
  
   RJ-45 MAU
   Pro:  cabling is normal Cat5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), works well
  with
   PC NICs that have an RJ-45 port
   Con:  need media filters to adapt DB-9 (on routers) to RJ-45

IBM 8226 MAU [7:13212]

2001-07-21 Thread Jason Roysdon

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).

Please cc me via email as I'm cramming for the Written and trying to avoid
distractions (as much as I love reading Groupstudy, I've got to focus right
now).

TIA

What's a media filter? Sorry!! :-(
Is it just a DB-9 adapter that I plug in to the DB-9 connector on the 2502? 
Is so, what would be the pin-out's, specifically the colors?

You need a Token Ring Media filter to convert the DB15 Token Ring Interface
on the 2502 router to UTP.Some media filters have UTP cables built in.
Others, just have an RJ45 jack.   For the RJ45 jack version, a regular
cat-5 patch cable from the media filter to the MAU will work fine.   As far
as I know, there isn't anyway to fake out Token RIng and eliminate the MAU
(unlike Ethernet or Serial where it is easy to make a back to back cable).
Hope this helps.

To connect token ring device you have to use a mau.  It provides electrical

Yes.  use a device known as a type 3 media filter - it's a DB-9 male
connector that converts to an RJ-45 (basically, an STP to UTP converter)  It
has electronic components in it, so don't try to use a standard DB-9 PC
Serial type connector.

You can't fake a Token Ring interface into an up/up state with no keepalive.
It needs to be physically inserted into a ring.

If you have 2 2502's, you'll need 2 media filters.  They're available in
many different places - I know Ortronics manufactures them, and they are
available on eBay (search in Computers:Networking using 'media filter')

the pins that are used on the rj45 side are 3,4,5,6, on the db-9 
the pins that are used are the two outermost pins on each side, looking at
it horizontally.

look on the web for the pinouts, thats where i found them, though i dont
remember the site, then go to radio shack, buy a db-9 connector, and do it
yourself =)

it worked when i did it =P

2001-07-11 Thread Ole Drews Jensen

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.

Subject: Cable connection from a 2502--- Andrew mau?? [7:11961]


Hi,
Does anyone know what kind of cable do I need to use to connect my 2 2502 
routers to an Andrew mau that has RJ-45 ports? Is there a special pin-out 
for building TR cables or will a regular cat-5(straight-thru) cable work?
Also, if I do NOT want to use a MAU, is there a way to fake the TR int. in a

UP/UP state similiar to the # no keepalive command used for E0 interfaces?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Looked up some old posts and found the following sources for Type 3 media
filters:
Pacific Cable $17, 
Cabling System Warehouse part no 205-01-rj45 $15.66,
See also:
http://www.ortronics.com/products/search/default.asp?product=media+filtersh

Know that I've seen a web site that showed the components. Don't have time
to search.

 What's a media filter? Sorry!! :-(
 Is it just a DB-9 adapter that I plug in to the DB-9 
 connector on the 2502? 
 Is so, what would be the pin-out's, specifically the colors?
 Thank you.

 You need a Token Ring Media filter to convert the DB15 Token 
 Ring Interface
 on the 2502 router to UTP.Some media filters have UTP 
 cables built in.
 Others, just have an RJ45 jack.   For the RJ45 jack version, 
 a regular
 cat-5 patch cable from the media filter to the MAU will work 
 fine.   As far
 as I know, there isn't anyway to fake out Token RIng and 
 eliminate the MAU
 (unlike Ethernet or Serial where it is easy to make a back 
 to back cable).
 Hope this helps.

RE: Cable connection from a 2502--- Andrew mau?? [7:11961]

2001-07-11 Thread Ted Dronen

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.

The 8 ports on the 8228 are electro-mechanical.
The Ring-In, Ring-Out ports are not.
The thingy with the red light has a 9-volt battery in it.
It is used to reset the 8 ports.
Insert the thingy into the port until the light turns on then off (takes only a couple
of seconds.
You need to do this to an 8228 any time you have not used it for awhile.

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. To test the ports i can only agree to
ElephantChild's method.

 To test all ports except RI and RO, first connect a machine to port 1
 and have it insert into the ring, then connect another to each of ports
 2-8 in turn, each time having it insert and checking that the machines
 see each other.
 
 To test RI and RO, you need 2 trunking cables. Connect the 2 MAUs
 together, then connect the 2nd machine to ports 1-8 of MAU 2 and repeat
 the insert-and-check test as above. Then, with 1 machine connected to
 each MAU, test RI by disconnecting first one end, then the other, then
 both, each time checking that the machines see each other. Reconnect RI
 and check RO the same way.
 
 Warning: If any test fails, it could be the MAU port, the machine, or
 the cable.  Use known good cables and machines to the extent possible.

Cable to connect 2502 to MAU

2001-01-28 Thread trammer

Can anyone give me the proper name or part number for a cable that I can use
to connect a 2502 Token Ring router to an RJ45 based Token Ring switch.  I
know there is the DB9 to Type 1 cables available, I just must be missing the
boat on the name for DB9 Male to RJ45 cable that it seems like I need.

If anyone has any insight it is appreciated.

Re: Cable to connect 2502 to MAU

2001-01-28 Thread John Hardman

Hi

You need a media filter, which is nothing more than a DB9 head shell with
four pins connected. Here is a link for all kinds of pin outs, including TR.
(watch the wrap)
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/cis2500/2501/
2500ug/pin.htm

The head shell should'nt cost more than about $3 at the local electronics
store.

Then a straight Cat5 cable to the MAU.

No offense, but $15 plus shipping for a  head shell is crazy!

Re: IBM 8228 MAU Question

2001-01-23 Thread J Roysdon

Cabling for the 2504:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/cis2500/2501/
2500ug/pin.htm

Cabling for the 2521:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_fix/cis2500/2520/
2520_23/c2520cab.htm

You can to connect the Token Ring ports to a custom DB9 (like the one used
for a DB9 console connection to the back of your serial port, but wired
differently), and then a straight-through cable to my IBM 8228 MAU which has
RJ-45 jacks.  At least that's the way the one in my lab is, but I inherited
this gear and didn't have to figure it all out (at least not yet).

Also they could be connected via the serial ports via a DTE/DCE cable
between the serial ports.

Couldn't you just wire up a custom DB9 to plug your CAT5 RJ-45 to, with the
other end going into the IBM 8228?

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

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

I pay about $20-$40 for the MAU's in my lab.  I get the kind with RJ45
connections.  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.

RE: MAU trouble shooting

2000-09-18 Thread Dave Hennen



I assume you've tried different ports and different 
cables

If it's a real IBM mau you may have to reinitialize the 
port. there is abattery powered 
tool that used to come with the mau. 
It also could be a speed mismatch if the mau has a way to set the ring 
speed. There used to be 4mbps only media filters (back in the day) if you 
are using one of those on a 16mbps ring, weird things can 
happen.
