At that time, early LAN systems were just coming to market, including Ethernet, Token Ring and ARCNET.

" In January, Jobs announced that they would instead be supporting IBM's Token Ring, which he expected to come out in a " few months ".

By late 1983 it was clear that IBM's Token Ring would not be ready in time for the launch of the Mac, and might miss the launch of these other products as well.

In the end, Token Ring would not ship until October 1985.

Apple also announced that AppleBus networks could be attached to, and would appear to be a single node within, a Token Ring system.

By 1987 Ethernet was clearly winning the standards battle over Token Ring, and in the middle of that year Apple introduced EtherTalk 1. 0 for the newly released Macintosh II computer.

Many 3rd party companies would introduce compatible Ethernet and Token Ring cards that used these same drivers.

Ethernet and Token Ring was also supported, known as EtherTalk and TokenTalk respectively.

Ethernet initially competed with two largely proprietary systems, Token Ring and Token Bus.

In addition to CSMA / CD, Token Ring ( supported by IBM ) and Token Bus ( selected and henceforward supported by General Motors ) were also considered as candidates for a LAN standard.

The most widely used standards are for the Ethernet family, Token Ring, Wireless LAN, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs.

ARCNET, Token Ring and other technology standards have been used in the past, but Ethernet over twisted pair cabling, and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies currently used to build LANs.

However shielded twisted pair was used in IBM's Token Ring implementation, and in 1984 StarLAN showed the potential of simple unshielded twisted pair by using Cat3 — the same simple cable used for telephone systems.

Other MultiMate products included foreign language versions of the software ( i. e., " MultiTexto " in Spanish ), a hardware interface card for file-transfer with Wang systems and versions of MultiMate for different PC clone MS-DOS computers, and for use on Novell, 3COM and IBM's PC Token Ring networks.

100VG took advantage of the token passing concept that made ARCNET and Token Ring popular in order to provide consistent performance no matter how large the network became.

Because the token stayed within the hub, it did not have to traverse long cables going to every node as in ARCNET and Token Ring therefore becoming faster than those other deterministic networking standards and being less susceptible to cabling problems, network card failures, and line interference.

FDDI was considered an attractive campus backbone technology in the early to mid 1990s since existing Ethernet networks only offered 10 Mbit / s transfer speeds and Token Ring networks only offered 4 Mbit / s or 16 Mbit / s speeds.

Token Ring is a logical ring topology, but is wired a physical star from the Media Access Unit.

In a ring network, such as Token Ring, ring latency is the time required for a signal to propagate once around the ring.

At the time, the company envisioned layer 3 routing and layer 2 ( Ethernet, Token Ring ) switching as complementary functions of different intelligence and architecture – the former was slow and complex, the latter was fast but simple.

ARCNET ( also CamelCased as ARCnet, an acronym from Attached Resource Computer NETwork ) is a local area network ( LAN ) protocol, similar in purpose to Ethernet or Token Ring.

IBM responded by proposing Token Ring as an alternative to Ethernet but kept such tight control over standardization that competitors were wary of using it.

The Token was intended to be the car with which Rondel Racing, the successful Formula Two team founded by Ron Dennis and Neil Trundle, would graduate to F1 racing.

In a source stripping ( FDDI or Token Ring ) environment, in the event that router A wanted to communicate with router D, the entire network would be taken up while the data was being transmitted because it would have to wait until it completed the loop and got back to router A before it was eliminated.

Token eventually decides he does not want to live with lions anymore ( because they only play practical jokes ) and leaves.

An Apollo Token Ring network card could also be placed in a standard PC and network drivers allowed it to connect to a server running a PC SMB ( Server Message Block ) file server.

It is speculated that currently no EVD is encoded in an HDTV resolution or an Image Constraint Token is preventing all discs to be displayed at full resolution.

Token authority Russell Rulau offers a broad definition for exonumia, and lines between categories can be fuzzy.

The latter form ( Bit-Reversed or Noncanonical representation ), may also be referred to in the literature as " MSB format ", " IBM format ", or " Token Ring format " for this reason.

Token characters will usually be relegated to the background.

# Token machines between Rowsley south and Church Lane signal box, to allow the locomotive shed at Rowsley to be used to full potential.

In 1829, he served as editor for the gift book The Token, making him the only person to be editor in the book's 15-year history besides its founder, Samuel Griswold Goodrich.

GoldKey's patent-pending encryption key management technology allows each GoldKey with Flash to be registered to a Master Token.

If a PIN is forgotten, the Master Token can be used to reset a PIN

The Challenge / Response protocol also allows the Token's keys to be changed so resisting Token cloning attempts.

The system also allows the User to ask for a specified phrase to be echoed on the Token allowing the User to authenticate the Host and so deny Phishing attempts.

During a football crowd scene, a white character can be seen that looks identical to Token Black, an African-American character introduced later in the series.

While Professor Chaos and General Disarray try to destroy the planet, Kyle, Stan, and Cartman pick six finalists to be their friend: Token, Timmy, Jimmy, Tweek, Towelie, and Pip.

Token, the token black child of South Park, happens to be the richest kid in town, and becomes upset when he can find no other kids in the school he can relate to.

Hurt at his social estrangement, Token decides to arrange for dozens of rich people ( who all happen to be black ) such as Will Smith and Snoop Dogg to move into South Park, which leads to Mr. Garrison complaining about the " richers " in the town, which in turn leads to ire among the other, less affluent members of the community ( who all happen to be white ).

The systems included a single AT expansion slot for a network card to allow the system to attach to any of the three supported networks ( Apollo Token Ring, IBM Token Ring, or Ethernet )

It supported both Ethernet ( then branded EtherSeries ) and AppleTalk and was quick to add Token Ring as well.
