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 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 does chsb stand for?
CHSB stands for "Celsius Network Token," which is the native cryptocurrency token of the Celsius Network platform.
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.
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 type of network access method is used on a ring network?
Token passing
Which station on a token network re-initializes the network in the event of failure?
The monitor station
How many packets send in network at a time?
Only 1 packet at a time can use the network resources at a time; the other packets will cause a collision in an Ethernet network. For Token Ring, only 1 packet at a time is on the network (via the token).
In a token ring network what happens to a packet when it reaches the computer it was sent to?
The token is set to 'received' and both the token and the packet are regenerated and placed on the network for the next station. The only system that may remove the packet is the station that originally sent it.
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 of the following is possible in token passing bus network?
doubleplexer
Which type of network uses a token in passing data?
ring
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
