FOT-F3 USER’S MANUAL

In another example, shown in Figure 1-4, a FOT-F3 (3) is
connected to an MMAC (1) by an AUI cable (2) attached to an
Intelligent Repeater Module (IRM) in the MMAC. A lengthy fiber
optic link segment (4) of up to five kilometers runs from the
FOT-F3 (3) to another FOT-F3 (5). The hardware connection is
completed via another AUI cable (6) to a Cabletron Systems
NBR-220 Ethernet Bridge (7) configured to provide an AUI
interface. Through the bridge, the host device communicates
with other devices on a larger Ethernet network attached to the
AUI port of the bridge.
