CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems HSIM-G01/G09 User’s Guide. This manual describes the HSIM-G01 and HSIM-G09 and provides information concerning features, installation, troubleshooting, the use of Local Management, and specifications.
The HSIM-G01 and HSIM-G09 function identically with one exception: the HSIM-G01 uses a short wavelength laser device that connects to 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optics, and the HSIM-G09 uses a long wavelength laser device that connects to 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optics, or 10 micron single mode fiber optics. Both devices are referred to as the HSIM-G unless otherwise specified in this guide.
A general working knowledge of Gigabit Ethernet and IEEE 802.3z data communications networks and their physical layer components is helpful when installing this device.
The HSIM-G has one Gigabit Ethernet port to provide a fiber optic connection. Figure 1-1shows the HSIM-G01.

The HSIM-G01 SC connector is either black or beige, to indicate the short wavelength transceiver, using multimode fiber. The HSIM-G09 SC connector is typically blue, to indicate the long wavelength transceiver. The product identifier is LX for the HSIM-G09.
