1.2 OVERVIEW
The HSIM-FE6 extends the functionality of certain Cabletron Systems
interface modules or standalone devices by providing high-speed uplink
capability through Fast Ethernet technology with different types of media.
1.2.1 Connectivity
The HSIM-FE6 module supports Fast Ethernet technology, using
interchangeable Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules (FEPIMs). The
FEPIMs support three types of media connectivity: RJ45 Category 5
unshielded twisted pair, and SC connectors for either single or multimode
fiber. The FEPIMs support an uplink to 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
backbones or a high speed connection to a local server.
1.2.2 Local Management
The HSIM-FE6 is managed through the host device in which it is
installed. For information concerning Local Management for the
HSIM-FE6, refer to the manual for the host platform. For details on
obtaining the host platform manual, refer to
Section 1.6 .
1.2.3 Full Duplex Switched Ethernet
The optional Fast Ethernet (Port) Interface Modules for the HSIM-FE6
can be configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet mode.
1.2.4 LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
Cabletron Systems provides a visual diagnostic and monitoring system
called LANVIEW. The HSIM-FE6 LANVIEW LEDs help you quickly
identify transmit and receive status.
Chapter 3 provides information on
the HSIM-FE6 LEDs and the FE-100TX LED.
