CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

The HSIM-G has an SC style connector for the network port. Cabletron
Systems offers fiber optic cables that use SC style connectors which are
keyed to ensure proper crossover of the transmit and receive fibers. Check
the fiber specifications in

Appendix A

for each HSIM-G carefully before

connecting an HSIM-G to the network.

Figure 2-3

HSIM-G Port Designations

Ensure that the chassis cover is in place before reconnecting
the power cord.

NOTES

An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be
maintained between like devices so that the transmit port of
one device is connected to the receive port of the other device
and vice versa.

If the fiber optic cable being used has SC style connectors that
do not resemble MIC style connectors, or has SC connectors
on one end and a different type on the other, such as ST
connectors, ensure that the proper cross over occurs.
