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.
