INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
This digital apparatus does not exceed the ClassA limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables
aux appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique
édicté par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as
prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements documents (s). The
department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the
facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier.
Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make
such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or
electrician, as appropriate.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the ringer equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
VCCI NOTICE
This is a Class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by
Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). If this equipment is used in a domestic environment,
radio disturbance may arise. When such trouble occurs, the user may be required to take corrective
actions.

SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
THE FE-100F3 FAST ETHERNET INTERFACE MODULE, FPIM-05 AND
FPIM-07 FDDI PORT INTERFACE MODULES, AND APIM-29 ATM
PORT INTERFACE MODULE USE CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS.
READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.
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 10
3
W m
2
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.

Configuration with QuickSET
This manual contains QuickSET configuration procedures for the HSIM-W6 , HSIM-W84 , and
CSX200 , CSX400, and CSX500 CyberSWITCHes. The manual covers two versions of firmware.
The QuickSET software will automatically determine which version of firmware is in use in your
device, and select the appropriate configuration windows for your configuration procedure. The
firmware version number appears on the first QuickSET screen in the area that is highlighted in
Figure 1 below. If your QuickSET screen shows firmware versions 02.XX.XX or greater, your
QuickSET configuration instructions begin at QuickSET Configuration (Firmware Version
02.XX.XX) . Otherwise use the QuickSET configuration instructions that begin here.
Figure 1 First QuickSET Screen Showing FirmwareVersion Number
NOTE
This manual is divided into two parts. The first part is the QuickSET
configuration procedure for Version 1.xx.xx Firmware.
The second part is the QuickSET configuration procedure for Version 2.xx.xx

The Ethernet 1 and 2 configuration window, shown in Figure 4 on the following page, displays
after clicking on the Next>> button in the Introductory window. The Local Ethernet IP address and
Subnet Mask fields shown on the Ethernet 1 and 2 configuration window are used for setting an IP

Local Ethernet (1 and 2) IP Address —
Displays the IP Address for the Local Ethernet
interface selected (Ethernet 1 or Ethernet 2). Place the cursor in this field and type the preferred IP
Address in Dotted Decimal Notation (DDN) format. The Local Ethernet 1 IP Address must be
entered in order to continue configuration.
Local Ethernet (1 and 2) Subnet Mask —
The Subnet Mask takes the same form as an IP
address; four groups of three decimal digits, separated by periods. Each group must be in the
numerical range of 0 to 255. When you click on the Subnet Mask field (the first time you use
QuickSET), a default Subnet Mask displays, based on the IP address you entered.
If you wish to use a different Subnet Mask, enter it at this time in DDN format. The Local
Ethernet 1 Subnet Mask must be entered in this field to continue.
