For the LANplex 2500
Module Description
This module contains one (1) Fast Ethernet 100BASE-FX port that uses an
FDDI (SC) connector, providing a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet connection over
fiber. This module is fully compliant with all IEEE 802.3u specifications.
For a description of how to configure this module into your network, refer
to the LANplex documentation set.
The 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet module requires revision 7.0 or later of
LANplex system software and revision 3.02 or later of system diagnostics. A
system software revision supporting this module is available from the 3Com
BBS, the Internet FTP site (3Com.ftp.com), or 3ComForum on CompuServe.
CAUTION:
You must install revision 7.0 or later of LANplex system software
before you insert the 100BASE-FX module. Inserting the module when the
correct software is not running causes continuous system resets.
