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
