INTRODUCTION
Application
The FOT-F3 can be configured into your network in many
ways. For example, a fiber optic link segment (4, Fig. 1-2)
can be attached to a Cabletron Systems’ Multi Media
Access Center (MMAC

) (5) with a FOMIM-32/36/38.
The MMAC serves as an intelligent repeater hub that links
the fiber optic link segment to other network segments,
regardless of media type. The link segment is attached to
an FOT-F3 (3). An Ethernet device, such as a workstation
(1), is connected to the FOT-F3 through an AUI cable (2).
