Introduction
 
This guide describes the Bay Networks 10BASE-FL (fiber link) 
and single-mode fiber media adapters for the BayStack 
10BASE-T Hubs, and provides instructions for installing, 
connecting, and configuring the adapters in the hub.
Each BayStack fiber media adapter provides one nonredundant 
single- or multimode fiber port for flexible backbone 
connectivity to your BayStack 10BASE-T Hub. Both adapters 
employ 10BASE-FL signaling technology.
The BayStack 10BASE-T Hub provides two Media Adapter 
LEDs to indicate the status of the hub media adapter ports A and 
B. For more information about interpreting media adapter LEDs, 
refer to Chapter 1, “Quick Reference Information,” in

BayStack 10BASE-T Hubs
