CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Cabletron Systems
FOT-F3 Fiber Optic
Transceiver User’s Manual
. This manual serves as a simple
installation and reference guide for the FOT-F3 transceiver.
You should have a general working knowledge of Ethernet or
IEEE 802.3 type data communications networks and their
physical layer components before installing the FOT-F3.
1.1 USING THIS MANUAL
Youshouldreadthroughthismanualtogainafullunderstanding
of the FOT-F3 and its capabilities.
This manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1,
Introduction
, discusses the capabilities of the
FOT-F3, outlines the conventions used in this manual, provides
information on how to receive additional help, and provides a list
of related manuals.
Chapter 2,
Installation Requirements
, contains the network
and hardware requirements that must be met before installing
the FOT-F3.
Chapter 3,
Installation
, contains steps for unpacking the
FOT-F3, setting the SQE switch, connecting the transceiver to
the network, connecting the transceiver to an active Ethernet
device, and, if desired, mounting the transceiver with the Velcro
mounts provided with the unit.

CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION
1-2 FOT-F3 USER’S MANUAL
Chapter 4,
Testing andTroubleshooting
, contains procedures
for verifying the proper installation of the FOT-F3. It also
describes LANVIEW LEDs and their function.
Appendix A,
Specifications
, provides the specifications for the
FOT-F3 transceiver.
1.2 CONVENTIONS
The following conventions are used in this manual:
•
Note
— Calls the reader’s attention to any item of
information that may be of special importance.
•
Caution
—Contains informationessentialtoavoid damage
to the equipment.
1.3 OVERVIEW OF THE FOT-F3
The FOT-F3 Fiber Optic Transceiver (Fiber Optic Medium
Attachment Unit or FOMAU) (Figure 1-1) is a device that allows
the connection of 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).
The FOT-F3 also has the Cabletron Systems LANVIEW
diagnostic system that monitors network activity and can help to
quickly diagnose physical layer problems using its LEDs.
