Gigabit Ethernet, or WAN connectivity depending on the type of HSIMs
installed. The 2M46-04R supports dual, redundant power supplies.
Several Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules (FEPIMs) are available for use with
the various SmartSwitch 2000 models:
•the FE-100FX, which provides one multi-mode fiber port via an SC connector ;
•the FE-100TX, with one Category 5 UTP RJ45 connector;
•the FE-100F3, with one single-mode fiber port via an SC connector;
• and the FE-100S1, S3, and S5, which provide one multi-mode fiber,
single-mode fiber, or long reach single-mode fiber SONET/SDH port, all via
SC connectors.
Two types of High Speed Interface Modules (HSIMs) are available for use with
the various SmartSwitch 2000 models. Each HSIM provides frame translation
between ATM, FDDI, WAN, Gigabit Ethernet, and Ethernet through an on-board
Intel i960 processor:
•The HSIM-F6 is an FDDI/Ethernet Translator, which can act as a Single
Attached Station (SAS) or Dual Attached Station (DAS) on an external FDDI
ring. FDDI Port Interface Modules (FPIMs) provide a wide range of media
connectivity to the ring. The HSIM-F6 also has full-duplex capability , allowing
for a 200 Mbps connection to another HSIM-F6.
•The HSIM-A6DP is an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) HSIM, which
provides an ATM uplink via two media-configurable ATM Port Interface
Modules (APIMs). The dual APIM design allows for a redundant connection
to the uplink, so that if the primary interface fails, the secondary interface will
automatically take over. The HSIM-A6DP acts as an ATM Forum LAN
Emulation Client (LEC) so that it can transfer data between devices on an
802.X LAN supported by the SmartSwitch 2000 and ATM-connected end
stations (or other 802.X end stations) across a high speed ATM Link. The
HSIM-A6DP adheres to the ATM Forum-approved LAN Emulation (LANE)
1-3
Introduction
NOTE
standard, which defines how end users that rely on existing data
communications technology and protocols can operate over an ATM network
without penalty.
•The HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84 are Wide Area Networking (WAN) HSIMs,
which can provide uplinks to WAN backbones and allow you to perform
seamless LAN to WAN switching. The HSIM-W6 supports IP and IPX
bridging or routing services, including IP RIP. Mu ltiple WAN connectivity
options are supported, including Sync, T1, E1, D&I, ISDN S/T, DDS, and
HDSL interfaces, through the use of two configurable W AN Physical Interface
Modules (WPIMs). Connectivity is available for Point to Point Protocol (PPP),
as well as Frame Relay and Leased Lines. Each WPIM can act independently,
allowing simultaneous communication, or configured to provide redundant
channels if desired. The HSIM-W84 p rovid es a fixed confi guration of four
RJ45 ports for four active T1 interfaces.
The HSIM-W6 and HSIM-W84 are intelligent devices that are functionally identical to
the CSX400. These HSIMs r equir e the ir own IP addr esse s, and ar e managed as individ ual
devices rather than as part of the device in which they are installed. Refer to the CSX200
and CSX400 User’s Guide for more information
•The HSIM-W87 is a Wide Area Network (WAN) HSIM that provides LAN to
WAN connectivity for any SmartSwitch that supports high-speed interface
modules (HSIMs). The HSIM-W87 has a DS3 interface (T3), providing up to 28
separate DS1 connections (T1). Refer to Chapter 8, HSIM-W87 Configur ation,
for information on configuring a n HS IM-W87.
•The HSIM-G01 and HSIM-G09 are Gigabit Ethernet HSIMs, each of which
provide a single Gigabit Ethernet connection that fully conforms to the IEEE
P802.3z (D3.1) Draft Standard. The HSIM-G0 1 pr o vid es a singl e 1000Ba se-SX
(short-wave) multimode fiber optic SC interface, allowing for link distances of
up to 500 meters. The HSIM-G09 provides a single 1000Base-LX (long-wave)
single mode/multimode fiber optic SC interface, allowing for link distances of
up to 3 kilometers.
•The HSIM-SSA710/20 are W ide Ar ea Networking (W AN) HSIMs that support
up to two ISDN PRI interfaces with up to 24 V.90 56K modem connections.
The HSIM-SSA710/20 are intelligent devices that are managed as individual
devices rather than as part of the device in which they are installed. Before you
can access the device, you must add it to your central node database by
inserting it in an existing List, Tree, or Map View, or by doing a Discover
process (see the User’s Guide for more information). O nce it has been added to
your List, T r ee, or Map view, you can access and manage the HSIM according
to the information in Chapter 2, The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View.

The latest SmartSwitches feature VHSIM slots, which can accept any of the
previously detailed HSIMs or the VHSIM-G6 Gigabit Ethernet High Speed
Interface Module:
•The VHSIM-G6 is a Gigabit Ethernet module which provides two slots for
GPIMs of various media to offer integrated Gigabit Ethernet uplink capability.
The VHSIM-G6 can accept the GPIM-01, which offers one SC connector for
MMF 1000Base SX Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the GPIM-09, which offers
one SC connector for MMF or SMF 100 0Base LX connectivity, or the GPIM-04,
which offers one ANSI Fibrechannel style-2 connector for 150 Ohm STP
1000Base CX connectivity.

Software Conventions
The NetSight Element Manager device user interface contains a number of
elements which are common to most windows and which operate the same
regardless of which window they appear in. A brief description of some of the
most common elements appears below; note that the information provided h ere is
not repeated in the descriptions of specific windows and/ or functions.
Using the Mouse
This document assumes you are using a Windows-compatible mouse with two
buttons; if you are using a three button mouse, you should ignore the operation of
the middle button when following procedures in this document. Procedures
within the NetSight Element Manager document set refer to these buttons as
follows:
1-6 Related Manuals
Introduction
Left Mouse Button
Right Mouse Button
Figure 1-1. Mouse Buttons
For many mouse operations, this document assumes that the left (primary) mouse
button is to be used, and references to activating a menu or button will not
include instructions about which mouse button to use.
However, in instances in which right (secondary ) m ouse button functionality is
available, instructions will explic itly refer to right mouse button usage. Also, in
situations where you may be switching between mouse buttons in the same area
or window, instru ctions may also explicitly refer to both left and right mouse
buttons.
Instructions to perform a mouse operation include the following terms:
• Pointing means to position the mouse cursor over an area without pressing
either mouse button.
• Clicking means to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then
press and release the appropriate mouse button. This is most commonly used
to select or activate objects, such as menus or b uttons.
• Double-clicking means to position the mouse pointer over the indicated
target, then press and release the mouse button two times in rapid succession.
This is commonly used to activate an object’s default operation, such as
opening a window from an icon. Note that there is a distinction made between
