4.2.10 Installing a 10BaseFL network (fiber optic cable)
One or several active network concentrators (star couplers) are needed for cabling
the system bus. Various models are available, for 115/230 V AC or 24 V DC, with
single or redundant power supply.
This manual refers to network concentrator type, a 9.5 inch device (width) for
115/230 V. All other models can be used as well.
There are two ways to connect to slot E1 or E2 of the AC 800F:
• via a 10BaseFL transceiver to an AUI module or
• directly to a 10/100BaseFL module EI 806F (under preparation)
For information about the other network concentrators see Symphony
Product Catalog.
