Product CN-8311 - 1 port 10Base-FL with ST/SMA Connectors |
Overview
The CodeNet-8311 is a fiber optic plug-in module for the Code-net MultiStar/3Com MultiConnect active star Ethernet system.
The unit provides an optical interface which fully complies
with the IEEE 802.3 (Section 9.9) specifications for a vendor independent fiber optic inter-repeater link (FOIRL).
The CodeNet-8311 may be used to provide a point~to-point
optical link between two MultiStar/MultiConnect stars, or
between a MultiStar/MultiConnect and any fiber optic media
access units (FOMAUs) which comply with IEEE 802.3 (Section 9.9) specifications such as Codenoll's CodeNet-8381
FOMAU. Full compatibility of the optical interface allows the
user to add MultiStar/MultiConnect repeaters to existing optical
networks using equipment from multiple vendors.
The CodeNet-8311 has front panel status indicators and
manual reset/partition controls for quick diagnosis and
resolution of network problems. An on-board switch allows
selection of either high or low optical transmit power allowing
the unit to provide Ethernet links up to 4.5 km (depending on
total network propagation delay and flux budget).
The CodeNet-8311 automatically partitions itself in the event
of a fault from the error-free segments, and automatically reconnects when the fault condition no longer exists.
When a segment is autopartitioned, its partition LED glows
continuously. Once a segment is autopartitioned, the segment
is sampled every 400 msec by transmitting a 523-bit packet
called a "bleep." If the "bleep" packet is transmitted successfully without a collision, the segment is reconnected. The partition LED then begins flashing, indicating that the problem has
been resolved. The reset switch on the front panel clears the
LED and does not affect the segment's operation.
