Notice Safety Information CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS Laser Radiation and Connectors When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10 watts.
FDDI A/B ports on the front panel. The 9F310-02 uses multi mode fiber, and the 9F315-02 uses single mode fiber optic cables for this connection. The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 modules employs the Fast Packet Switch (FPS), a high performance switch design, and the Intel i960 micro- processor.

FDDI link status per port as well as transmit and receive activity. Connectivity The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 modules have one interface to the INB-1, two front panel FDDI interfaces, or two FNB interfaces to the MMAC-Plus FNB backplane. The front panel A/B port connections are via standard fiber FDDI MIC connectors.

Operation The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 modules are capable of bridging/switching any three, of five possible interfaces, depending on how it is configured. The INB-1 connection is always fixed. When configuring the module, the decision is made to connect both front panel ports, both FNB ports, or one front panel and one FNB port to the bridge.
LCD located on the environment module. The 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 have been designed so that in the event of a diagnostic controller fault, the 9F310-02 and 9F315-02 will continue to function.
INB. For data blocks received from the INB, the INB NIB reassembles the data blocks received from the INB back into canonical frames for transmission to the Fast Packet Switch (FPS) then from the FPS to the front panel ports.

Operation The Host engine sends and receives packets via the CPU FPS Interface. This allows the bridge to perform spanning tree protocol and other bridging functions. The SMB Interfaces provide communication to the Host Engine for management functions and communication with other modules in the chassis.
