You can connect other devices and allow them to communicate to each other, just like any other local area network.

What is difference between Token Ring Token Bus?
In a token bus network architecture, the nodes at either end of the bus do not actually meet. In a token ring, the network logically functions as a ring, but is wired as a star.
What is the purpose of the token frame in a token ring network?
To indicate to the network that a particular node is about to transmit data
What is the purpose of a token in a token-passing network?
The token indicates current "ownership" of the ring, in that only one client at a time can have access to the network. If you don't have the token you can't do anything on the network. It also indicates the status of the ring, whether it is in use, available to transmit on, health status, etc.
What type of network access method is used on a ring network?
Token passing
Can you change the frame type of an Network Interface card in an Ethernet network be used in a token ring network?
no. The differences between ethernet and token ring are greater then the frame type. Ethernet uses CDMA and token ring uses.....well a token. Token ring adapters have an on-board processor for source route bridging which uses a RIF field and ethernet has nothing of the sort. There are many more examples, but the simple answer is it will not work. fm
Which type of network uses a token in passing data?
ring
Is Token ring a passive or active network?
Token Ring is an active topology - each packet must be recreated as it goes from client to client.
How does a token ring work?
3. Unlike Ethernet, Token Ring uses a ring topology whereby the data is sent from one machine to the next and so on around the ring until it ends up back where it started. It also uses a token passing protocol which means that a machine can only use the network when it has control of the Token, this ensures that there are no collisions because only one machine can use the network at any given time.

Why token ring cannot be used in wan?
Token ring is a loacal area network technology. It is limited in ldistance by its physical layer connection requirements.
What is difference between fddi and 802.5 token ring?
Fddi can be further connected to other networks whereas token ring is individual network of computers.
