What is a beaconing ring? Does FDDI beacon?

Beacon is a special frame that FDDI MAC sends when something is wrong. When Beaconing persists, SMT will kick in to detect and try to solve the problem. A few FDDI implementations will beacon on initial entry into the ring, but this is a short term condition.
