What connecting devices do you use for two or more connected networks?
For two or more connected networks you can use a bridgeto connect them all together.It depends on the two networks. A bridge can only connect two networks of the same type (eg Ethernet or Token-Ring), that also use the same layer 3 network address (eg IP subnet or IPX network #, or AppleTalk network #).A "gateway" device can connect two dissimilar types that share a network address, and a router can connect two networks of different network addresses whether or not they have the same network type.
Who is a special unit of data which acts as a key on a Token Ring?
That's called a "token".That's called a "token".That's called a "token".That's called a "token".
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.
Who generates the token in token ring?

What is proper English by the same token or at the same token?
"By the same token" is correct. The token gives you two for one, like buying two items with one dollar. Two ideas have a shared cause or basis. You get both "by" using the same token, not by being "at" the same token.
What is token ring cable?
it is a network data communication system where each of the device connected with it wait for their time to communicate. when they have the token, they got to communicate or sent transmission.
Which type of bridge would be used to connect an ethernet segment with a token ring segment?
You will need a router. Token Ring and Ethernet refer to two different layer two protocols. You will need a layer three device to encapsulate the data for communication between the two networks. A bridge refers to a layer two device.
What type of network has the computers connected to a hub in the center?
A center connectivity device means a star topology is being used. If it is a managed hub such as a MAU or MSAU unit, then it is a token ring network.
How do Token Ring networks act as a ring if they are physically wired as a star?
Although Token Ring uses a logical ring to transmit data, it is wired as a star through a device called a multi-station access unit, or MSAU. The MSAU actually contains the ring within it, and when a node connects to the MSAU it opens a relay circuit allowing data to flow down to the newly-connected node.

How do token passing works?
I assume you're talking about a network. On a token network, all of the computers wait to send data until they have the token. The token is a piece of data that travels around the network (picture all of the computers set up in a circle) giving each one a chance to send their data. After that computer has sent the data, the token moves on to the next. It prevents data collision on the network.
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.
Is there a device that lets you connect to a computer using dsl from a phone jack in another room without wires?
What is this 'device' you are referring to? Are you using your phone lines in your house to run a network? If so, then no, it will be almost impossible to run a DSL modem to that network. The reason is, a phone line network, which typically runs at 1mb per second, uses 'token ring' methology... basically one computer holds the 'token' and the other computers are constantly asking for it, and it travels ONE direction, not 2 way communication. For the price, I would install network cards in all your computers, and run CAT5 cable, with a router near your DSL Modem. that way, the DSL modem will see one computer, but all the computers, attached to the router via CAT5 cable, will be able to access the internet.
Why is a token ring nework inefficient?
Because it makes all computers who have something to say wait until they get the token. Some info that needs to be sent may be very important but if it doesn't have the token then too bad. It'll have to wait.
What is a bad token on feral heart?
i think it means you can't connect xD I get it all the time
What is token bus communication system?
it is a network data communication system where each of the device connected with it wait for their time to communicate. when they have the token, they got to communicate or sent transmission.
What is token based media access?
Token-based media access is a controlled media access method in which computers pass a special sequence of bits between them; only the node holding this token can transmit on the network. After transmitting its data, or if it has no data to transmit, a node passes the token to the next computer on the network. Neeraj
What are the characteristics of the star topology?
In a star topology, each device connects to a central network connectivity device such as a hub, switch, or router. These devices would be connected as a "star" (points on a star). The other characteristic of a star topology is that a failing connection will only affect the failed device unless that device is the connectivity device. This means that in most cases a failing device on a star will not take down the entire network. Another characteristic of a star is that they are easily expandable and scalable.
