CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Cabletron Systems HSIM-F6 User’s Guide. This manual provides the following information:

•Describes HSIM-F6 features.

•Explains how to install the HSIM-F6 in a Cabletron Systems interface module or standalone hub.

•Explains how to conﬁgure and monitor the HSIM-F6 through Local Management.

•Outlines speciﬁcations for the Cabletron Systems Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) High Speed Interface Module (HSIM).

The HSIM-F6 provides additional connectivity/functionality to various Cabletron Systems interface modules and standalone hubs through the use of FDDI technology. In addition to having a general working knowledge of Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 type data communications networks and their physical layer components, you should also understand FDDI networks and the ANSI X3T9.5 standard prior to installing the HSIM-F6.

The HSIM-F6, shown in Figure 1-1, uses two FPIM (FDDI Port Interface Module) slots to provide the option of using multimode ﬁber optic, single mode ﬁber optic, unshielded twisted pair, or shielded twisted pair transceiver ports based on the network requirements.
