Card Type

This field reports what type of PhaserShare card is installed in the printer.

Token Ring Address

This field specifies the printer's Token Ring address (by default, this is a bit-swapped version of the Printer's Printer ID, and it is a unique address on the network). You can supply a Locally Administered Address.

For Locally Administered Addresses, you can enter any valid Token Ring address between 4x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and 7x:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Entering an empty string causes the printer to reset the address to the printer's default address.

Speed

This field reports the Token Ring speed set by the jumper on the PhaserShare Token Ring card installed in the printer. The speed is either 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps.

Bridging

This list box specifies the Token Ring source routing:

• Transparent (no source routing)
• Source Route (use source routing)
• Adaptive (default; printer determines whether or not to use source routing based on the data)

All Routes Broadcast

These buttons control the default frame type for source route broadcasts:

• Single Route. The printer uses single route broadcasts for most source route broadcasts.
• All Routes. The printer uses all routes broadcasts for all broadcasts.

Route Broadcasting is ignored if Bridging is set to Transparent.

NOTE: Some protocols (for example, IP and ARP) always use all routes, so they are not affected by this parameter.

Early Token Release

When this field is set to True, Early Token Release is on; the printer releases the token at the end of the last byte transmitted. This option has no effect when Token Ring Speed is 4 Mbps.
