Interconnect Between 2 Mixed Nodes
For each node, the FDDI Interconnect Base Kit corresponding to the node type is used. Two
FDDI Fibre cables are used for linking the two nodes:
– In [EPC1200 node * EPC400 node] case or [EPC1200A node * EPC400 node] case,
two FDDI SC–SC cables (CBLU170–1800) are generated with the order and used. It
means that the pairs of FDDI fibre SC–MIC cables of the FDDI base kits are not used.
– In [EPC800 node * EPC1200 node] or [EPC800 node * EPC400 node] or [EPC800
node * EPC1200A node] cases, the two FDDI SC–MIC cables are used. The two
FDDI MIC–MIC cables of the EPC800’s FDDI base kit are not used.
Interconnect of More Than 2 Nodes
The FDDI Interconnect Base Kits and DCKU109–0000 are used together to interconnect
more than two nodes with FDDI Hub technology.
There are as many FDDI Interconnect Base Kits as nodes to be interconnected, and there is
a pair of FDDI Hubs (one DCKU109–0000).
For each node, the selected FDDI Interconnect Base Kit corresponds to the node type. In
case of EPC400 node, EPC1200 node or EPC1200A node, the SC–SC cable of the FDDI
Base Kit is not used.
The DCKU110–0000 component is necessary in addition to DCKU109–0000 for
configurations of 7 or 8 nodes.
