INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Cabletron Systems’ FOT-F3™Fiber Optic Transceiver User’s Manual. We have designed this manual to serve as a simple installation and reference guide for the Cabletron Systems FOT-F3 transceiver.
The FOT-F3 allows you to connect two Ethernet devices using single mode fiber optic cable. The FOT-F3 uses the same signaling protocols specified by FOIRL and is completely IEEE 802.3 compatible at the AUI interface (the AUI port connects the transceiver to a device or workstation via an AUI cable).
You should read through this manual to gain a full understanding of the FOT-F3 transceiver and its capabilities.
