Any client needs to have access to the token before transmitting or receiving on the ring network.

No, unless the ring is broken then collision can occur
Fddi can be further connected to other networks whereas token ring is individual network of computers.

FDDI is a dual-ring structure, usually found in MANs (metropolitan area networks). Although it has a physical ring structure it is not the same as a token ring network.
Tokens is a plural noun. The singular form is token.
