Just a quick question, I hope. I have seen from a previous entry that the DECrepeater 90FA will automatically switch between 10BASEFL and FOIRL and therefore ensure that the 90FA will interoperate with a DECrepeater 200/RC. The question is given that the FL and FS have more fibre ports, will they do the same ? Regards Neal Evans

For clarity's sake, the DECrepeater 90FA does not actually "switch"
between 10BASEFL and FOIRL. Rather, its implementation of 10BASEFL is
backward compatible with the FOIRL standard (this is according to the
engineer who designed the DECrepeater 90FA).

The DECrepeater 90FL, DECrepeater 90FS, and DECrepeater 900FP (as well
as the DECrepeater 90FA) will all interoperate with a DECrepeater
200/RC because the 90(0) series repeaters are all backward compatible
with the FOIRL standard.
Regards,
Rich
