Token Ring Menu

Important

For information about configuring the token-ring attachment, please see

IBM

Network Printers: Ethernet and Token Ring Configuration Guide, which comes with
the Token-Ring Network Interface Card. Chapter 8, “Configuring Printer Network
Addresses” on page 179 describes how to define the IP address, default gateway
address, and subnet mask from the operator panel.

Use the Token Ring Menu to configure the token-ring attachment. The following table
describes the settings you can change from the Token Ring Menu. An asterisk (*) next
to a value in the table indicates the factory default. The Token Ring Menu appears
only if you have the token-ring attachment installed.

Notes:

1. To select a new value, press the Continue/Enter key when the value is displayed

in the message display area. An asterisk (*) appears next to the value in the
message display area, indicating that is now active.

2. If you are unfamiliar with using the operator panel to work with menus, please read

“Using the Operator Panel Keys” on page 10 and “Navigating Menus” on page 12
before continuing.
