Other benefits of the 10BASE-FB Modules include:
3Com TriChannel Architecture - The 10BASE-FB Modules operate in
an ONline System Concentrator with all ONline modules, including
Token Ring and FDDI.
Slot Independence - You can install modules into any available slot
in the ONline Concentrator. This flexibility eliminates the need to shut
down the network and rearrange the existing configuration of the
concentrator when you install new modules into the concentrator.
“Hot Swap” Capability - You can install or remove modules from
the ONline System Concentrator when it is powered up without
affecting the operation of any other modules in the concentrator.
Independent Networks - You can assign each module to any of
three independent Ethernet networks.
Management Support - You can manage the module through the
3Com ONdemand™ Network Control System. You may also manage
the 10BASE-FB modules using terminal management through an
ONline network management module.
Compliance - The 10BASE-FB Modules comply with the IEEE
10BASE-FB fiber standard to provide interoperability with other
standards-based products.
