THE HSIM-G01/G09 GIGABIT ETHERNET MODULES USE
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS. READ THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING
THESE ADAPTERS.
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 laser transceivers comply with the following safety standards:
• 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
• IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
• CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1
accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered hazardous.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is
0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.
Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.

The following defines each field of the Gigabit Ethernet Configuration screen.
Port X (Read-Only)
The port or interface number on the host platform in which the HSIM-G is installed.
Port T ype (Read-Only)
Displays the type of interface (HSIM-G01 or HSIM-G09) installed in the HSIM-G. Figure 4-2 shows an HSIM-G01 installed.
Link Status (Read-Only)
Indicates whether or not there is a physical connection from this port to another gigabit Ethernet port. One of the following values displays:
Link - There is a link signal present and a valid physical connection to
another device.
No Link - There is no link signal present and no valid physical
connection to another device.
NA - The port has not completed its auto-negotiation.

Chapter 4: Local Management
Current Oper. Mode (Read-Only)
Displays the current operating mode of the port. Regardless of whether an HSIM-G01 or HSIM-G09 is installed, this field displays 1000Base-XFD.
Desired Oper. Mode (Toggle)
Allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an HSIM-G interface. The field toggles between Auto-Negotiation and 1000Base-XFD. Section 4.2.1 describes how to configure a port with an HSIM-G01 or HSIM-G09 interface.
NOTE
In normal operation, the installed port automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the segment without requiring user setup. Howe v er , Local Management provides the user with the option of manually configuring the port.
With either the HSIM-G01 or the HSIM-G09 installed, the field toggles between Auto-Negotiation and 1000Base-XFD. In normal operation with an 802.3z compliant device at the other end of the link, the port installed is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user setup is required. For devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation, 1000Base-XFD should be selected. The link partners must match on both sides of the link. Section 4.2.1 describes how to manually configure the HSIM-G.
Advertised Ability (Read-Only)
Displays the current advertised ability, which is 1000Base-XFD.
4.2.1 Configuring the HSIM-G Port
In normal operation, an HSIM-G port automatically establishes a link when set to Auto-Negotiation (with an 802.3z compliant device at the other end of the segment) and no further user setup is required. To set the operation of the HSIM-G to auto-negotiate, refer to Section 4.2.1.1.
Section 4.2.1.1 and Section 4.2.1.2 provide instructions for manually
configuring the port, normally done when there is a non-compliant device at the other end of the segment.

Gigabit Ethernet Configuration Screen
4.2.1.1 Setting the Operational Mode
Use the Desired Oper. Mode field to set the active technology. This field steps between Auto-Negotiation and 1000Base-XFD. If Auto-Negotiation is selected, the HSIM-G automatically sets the active technology to auto-negotiate with another 802.3z compliant device. 1000Base-XFD must be chosen if the device on the other side of the link does not support Auto-Negotiation.
To manually set the active technology through Local Management, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode. Press ENTER. You
may select Auto-Negotiation or 1000Base-XFD. If 1000Base-XFD is selected, the port only operates in 1000Base-XFD and Auto-Negotiation is disabled.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management sav es the changes to memory. The selected mode is displayed in both the Desired Operational Mode field and the Current Operational Mode field.
4.2.1.2 Setting the Advertised Ability
The HSIM-G auto-negotiates using 1000BaseXFD with an 802.3z compliant device on the other end of the link. Under certain circumstances (refer to Desired Oper. Mode (Toggle)), the Network Administrator may not want the port to advertise the available mode. To set the advertised ability, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Enabled/Disabled field to the
right of the selection.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select Enabled or Disabled. Press ENTER.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory.
