CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems
HSIM-G01/G09 User’s Guide
. This
manual describes the HSIM-G01 and HSIM-G09 and provides
information concerning features, installation, troubleshooting, the use of
Local Management, and specifications.
A general working knowledge of Gigabit Ethernet and IEEE 802.3z data
communications networks and their physical layer components is helpful
when installing this device.
The HSIM-G has one Gigabit Ethernet port to provide a fiber optic
connection. Figure 1-1 shows the HSIM-G01.

NOTE
The HSIM-G01 and HSIM-G09 function identically with one
exception: the HSIM-G01 uses a short wavelength laser device
that connects to 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optics, and
the HSIM-G09 uses a long wavelength laser device that
connects to 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optics, or 10
micron single mode fiber optics. Both devices are referred to as
the HSIM-G unless otherwise specified in this guide.
NOTE
The HSIM-G01 SC connector is either black or beige, to
indicate the short wavelength transceiver, using multimode
fiber. The HSIM-G09 SC connector is typically blue, to indicate
the long wavelength transceiver. The product identifier is LX for
the HSIM-G09.
