Hi
Just for those that might want to do the same, I am in the process
of
converting the Ethernut 2.1 to fiber optic (100Base-FX) for a
special application.
In my ignorance I presumed that the PHY interface of the Fiber
Optic transceive module
to be the same as the LAN91C111 PHY interface and therefore tried
to
connect them together which obviously did not work! Later I
discovered
that one needs a media converter chip to convert the wire driven
signals
to fiber optic driven signals and visa versa. The chip that I am
planning to use for this conversion is the ML6652. Hopefully when
finished with the pcb it should work. Anyone else that maybe went
trough
this process before?
Regards
Christo
