CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2. Introduction
The AUI to 10BASE-FL Transceiver
connects an AUI interface of an Ethernet
device (such as a LAN card installed in a
PC, or a bridge, router, hub, or repeater)
to the fiberoptic cabling of a 10BASE-FL
network. The transceiver complies with the
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL specification.
The transceiver features two tests: A
selectable SQE test allows SQE (heartbeat)
to be disabled when used with a hub or
repeater. When SQE test is enabled, it
sends a heartbeat signal to the attached
Ethernet card, bridge, or router.
A link integrity test automatically checks
fiber cables.
