2313.0. "Another compatability Question" by NWD002::MORENO () Wed May 24 1995 12:10

    Is there such a thing as 10BaseFB, and if so are compliant to this
    standard. The question comes from a vendor who needs this
    compatability.
    
    While we're at it, are there any other standards besides 10BaseFL &
    FOIRL, that are current ?

	10baseFB is a synchronous transmission protocol, mainly used by CHIPCOM Corp. Our products use 10baseFL and/or FOIRL protocols, which are NOT compliant with 10baseFB. If you have a 10baseFB based network you need at least a CHIPCOM transceiver, which will convert the 10baseFB to a regular AUI connection, from where you then can extend the fiber link, using an AUI-to-10baseFL repeater, such as the DEFAR.
