Operation
The 9F206-02 module, as shown in Figure 3-1, provides two repeater ports that
extend the FNB bus outside the MMAC-Plus chassis. No bridging or routing is
done in this module. Each port connects to both rings (Primary and Secondary) on
each FNB (FNB-1 and FNB-2).

Flexible Network Bus (FNB)
The FNB consists of two dual FDDI networks, FNB-1 and FNB-2, providing up to
400 Mbps of data bandwidth. These FDDI networks are 100% ANSI FDDI-
compliant supporting SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY, and PMD standards. This
allows the FNB to traverse multiple MMAC-Plus hubs, or connect to any ANSI
FDDI-compliant device, through standard A/B port connections.
