- CodeNet-8321 Micro Channel interface cards are designed to give IBM PS/2 or
- compatible computers a fiber optic link to an Ethernet network segment, based
- upon the IEEE 10BASE-FL standard, that is backwards compatible with the earlier
- Fiber Optic Inter Repeater Link (FOIRL) IEEE standard. CodeNet fiber optic
- Ethernet is more robust and reliable than coax or twisted pair solutions. It is
- completely immune to electromagnetic noise and no form of cable damage, like
- short circuits, ground faults, reflections, or impedance mismatches, can
- disable the network. It is also impossible for a cable to cause a fire or
- explosion since there is no electrical current present and it is virtually
- impossible for an unauthorized agent to tap into the cable without easy
- detection. Workstations can be up to 2 kilometers apart in both point-to-point
- and star configurations. Many MultiStar active hubs and CodeStar passive hubs
- can be connected together to create LANs supporting thousands of computers in a
- single network. Codenet-8321 10BASED-FL/FOIRL cards are compatible with other
- CodeNet FOIRL products as well as other manufacturers' FOIRL and 10BASE-FL
- concentrators and repeaters
-
- The CodeNet-8321 achieves higher performance because of a 16K buffer memory
- architecture. Since this memory buffer is dual-ported and directly accessed by
- the PC, the PC simply uses ``move string'' instruction to move data to and from
- the buffer in the same way it moves data around its own memory. The
- CodeNet-8321 does not require any DMA channels, eliminating DMA conflicts with
- other boards and providing maximum Micro Channel performance
-
- Because of the fiber's large bandwidth and resulting data transmission
- capacity, the network has a long life expectancy. The newer and faster network
- standards, like FDDI, use the same fiber as Codenoll fiber optic Ethernet
- networks.
