Abstract
This thesis describes the design and implementation of a
token-ring fiber optic local area network (LAN) interface
module. The token-ring protocol implementing the IEEE 802.5
standard is reviewed. The initial LAN electrical signal
operating at 4 Mbps is provided by a LAN adapter card based
on the TMS380 chipset developed for twisted pair copper wire.
This design features analog implementations of both the input
electrical circuitry of the optical transmitter and output
electrical circuitry of the optical receiver. Successful LAN
communications over the fiber optic link are described.
