INTRODUCTION
1.2 THE 7F06-02 MODULE
The 7F06-02 Module provides two Fiber Optic ports via front panel
FPIM modules.
1.2.1 CableType and FPIMs
The 7F06-02 module has two front panel connectors that interface
to the 7X00 Smart Switch Module through the chassis backplane.
The front panel connections are standard Cabletron FPIMs. There
are two FPIMs for each channel. These FPIMs allow the use of
single mode or multimode fiber cable with MIC or SC type
connectors and twisted pair cable, either shielded or unshielded.

INTRODUCTION
Token Ring to be used with the 7F06-02 Module. These modules
provide the capability to share data without the use of external
bridges or routers.
The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is a unique module that can be
installed in an MMAC Series chassis. The 7C04 Workgroup
SmartSwitch and the 7C04-R Workgroup SmartSwitch are stand-
alone chassis that provide the same functions.
1.3 FEATURES
The 7F06-02 Module provides two FDDI ports via front panel
FPIMs. The 7F06-02 Module includes the following features:
1.3.1 FPIMs
The front panel connections are standard Cabletron FPIMs. These
FPIMs allow the use of single mode or multimode fiber cable with
MIC or SC type connectors.
1.3.2 LANVIEW LEDs
The 7F06-02 uses LANVIEW, Cabletron Systems built-in visual
diagnostic and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs,
you can quickly identify, at a glance, the status of the device
connected to a port on the 7F06-02 Module.
1.3.3 Connectivity
The 7F06-02 Module has one backplane connection and two sets of
A/B front panel FPIM connections. The backplane connection
provides power to the 7F06-02 Module and a channel for
communication with the 7X00 SmartSwitch Control Module. The
two front panel FPIMs provide FDDI connections, allowing the use
of single mode or multimode fiber cable with MIC or SC type
connectors.
