FDDI Dual-Attached Intelligent Module User’s Guide
1.1 OVERVIEW
The FDDI 3F00-01 and the 3F55-01 are dual-attached modules that
connect the ATX to a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) network.
Multiple 3F55-01s and 3F00-01s can be installed in one ATX.
Both modules support a wide range of applications, such as intra-facility
or campus backbones, and client/server configurations. Figure 1-1 shows
a typical campus backbone application, with the ATX linking independent
workgroups on Ethernet and Token-Ring LANs to a high-performance
FDDI backbone.

Typical Network Configuration
The 3F00-01 uses standard multimode fiber. The 3F55-01 uses single
mode fiber for extended distance capability. The extended distance
capability for single mode fiber is dependent upon how you want to
allocate your power budget. The 3F00-01 and the 3F55-01 allow the ATX
to be connected to the FDDI ring as a dual-attached station, dual-homed
single-attached station, or single attached station. Both modules support
