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.
