Introduction

This guide describes the Bay Networks 10BASE-FL (fiber link) and single-mode fiber media adapters for the BayStack 10BASE-T Hubs, and provides instructions for installing, connecting, and configuring the adapters in the hub.

Each BayStack fiber media adapter provides one nonredundant single- or multimode fiber port for flexible backbone connectivity to your BayStack 10BASE-T Hub. Both adapters employ 10BASE-FL signaling technology.

The BayStack 10BASE-T Hub provides two Media Adapter LEDs to indicate the status of the hub media adapter ports A and B. For more information about interpreting media adapter LEDs, refer to Chapter 1, “Quick Reference Information,” in Using the BayStack 10BASE-T Hubs.

This guide contains the following sections:

•BayStack 10BASE-FL Media Adapter

•BayStack Single Mode Fiber Media Adapter

•Fiber Optic Cable Length Limitations

•Installing a Media Adapter in a BayStack Hub

For more information about how the media adapter operates in the hub, refer to Using the BayStack 10BASE-T Hubs (Bay Networks Part number 893-839-B).
