Redundant Links
The BayStack 10BASE-FL RDN Media Adapter supports redundant links between Bay Networks BayStack Ethernet hubs, System 5000 hubs, and other Bay Networks hubs that support redundant links. If one fiber connection in a redundant pair breaks, the standby link automatically takes over in less than 10 microseconds. This redundant link feature allows you to build Ethernet dual-homing and mesh-type topologies. The port at both ends of the fiber connection must support Bay Networks remote signaling.
A jumper is used to set the redundant 10BASE-FL media adapter port to operate in redundant mode with a 10BASE-FL fiber port on another hub.
