      This paper presents a computer interconnection using fiber optics links for computer switching by means of the ES-4061 serial device via the IO interface of an ES computer.
      The structure and interaction concepts of communication hardware are described. The communication channel specifications are given.
The hardware described allows the intercomputer exchange rate to approach the highest throughput of the 10 channel while increasing considerably the distance between the computers without changing the operational principles of the serial ESr4061.
      The implementation based on the above hardware can be used as a generic component for creating local computer networks.
