Black Box Ethernet to Token Ring Bridge (LB5000A)

The Ethernet to Token Ring Bridge provides a transparent connection to applications running the same protocol on token-ring and Ethernet LANs. All bridges are controlled by the Bridge Manager, a software program that runs on a PC on the token-ring LAN. The Bridge Manager performs control and statistics-gathering functions on one or more bridges and can download operating-code upgrades to the bridges through the network. A PC running Bridge Manager may also be attached directly to the serial control port on the Ethernet to Token Ring Bridge. Front-panel LEDs and LCD display current bridge and network status. Two memory banks allow reliable operating-code upgrades. You can download code upgrades through the token-ring network without disrupting bridging operations. And the Bridge is compatible with both 4- and 16-Mbps token-ring networks. You also get two levels of password protection. The Bridge is easily mounted in a standard 19" rack. Minimize
