To configure Token Ring specific information, select the Token Ring file tab.
The Token Ring configuration options described below are only available on
Token Ring products.
OK and Cancel affect the entire dialog box, not just the
Token Ring tab options. Do not choose OK until you've
entered all changes on this tab and other tabs. If you
choose Cancel, you lose all changes in every tab of this
dialog box.
Priority Priority allows selection of a priority level ranging from a
low of 0 to a high of 6. When a data packet is placed on
the Token Ring network, it uses the assigned priority.
The priority of the packets sent by the Monarch device
can be increased to improve printing performance.
However, the performance of file servers and crucial
stations could be affected.
Packet Size Packet Size allows selection of a number indicating the
size of each block of data sent from the Monarch device
to the printer. Sending data in larger blocks usually
results in improved printing performance. If you increase
the packet size and do not observe improved
performance, the server, bridge, or router through which
the packets must travel may not be accepting the size
that you have selected.
Early Token
Release Early Token Release enhances ring performance by
releasing the token before receiving the complete frame.
Early Token Release is enabled by default if your ring is
running at 16 Mbps. If your ring is running at 4 Mbps, this
setting is ignored. It is acceptable to enable Early Token
Release on some stations while disabling it on others.
Routing Routing allows selection of how packets are routed. The
default is All-routes broadcast, non-broadcast return.
Selections include: All-routes broadcast, non-broadcast
return; Single-route broadcast, all routes broadcast
return; Single-route broadcast, non-broadcast return;
None.
