I have a question on this.  We have installed the Fiber nic cards, obtained 
from Foxboro, we are now trying to get the software installed and configured.  
We are having trouble with the sys def looking for the switch.  On the 
installation the install will fail and say that it could not find switch.  Can 
someone provide how to do this.  We have a AW (H92) connected via fiber to a 
FCP270 and that is it.  Can this be done or not.  Thank for any help

Hi Bill,

No it is not.  The Fiber nic's have a modified firmware which allows them to 
communicate with I/A's protocol, the comex.  The minimum you need is fiber 
nic's from Foxboro.  Once you have that, however, if all you are going to do is 
1 AW and 1 CP, you can actually connect them together without a switch.  If you 
require  more stations, ie, WP's and more CP's then, yes, you will need a 
switch, and no, it does not need to be managed, but your system monitor will 
not see that switch and show it as failed.  Additionally, you will have to deal 
with licenses, that is an issue that you and your Foxboro rep will have to deal 
with...

Regards,

Normand

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable We are in the process of trying to 
set up a in house simulator with a AW
(H91) and a FCP270.  I am trying to keep the cost down, so here is the
question: Can I utilize non-standard switches(non-managed) for my network.  My 
AW does not have Fiber Nic Cards.  I was planning on utilizing a fiber to 
copper switch.  Is this possible??
