CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This chapter outlines the procedure for connecting your SEH to a network. Ensure that your network meets the guidelines and requirements outlined in Chapter 2, Installation Requirements/ Specifications, before installing the SEH.

4.1CONNECTING THE SEH TO THE NETWORK

The procedure for connecting network segments to the SEH varies depending on the media and ports being connected. Refer to the following list and perform the procedure described in the subsections that apply to your SEH:

•	Network Ports SEH-22/24	4.1.1
•	Network Ports SEH-32/34	4.1.2
•	EPIM-T	4.1.3
• EPIM-F1, F2, F3		4.1.4
•	EPIM-C	4.1.5
•	EPIM-A	4.1.6
•	EPIM-X	4.1.7

Prior to connecting the network cabling check the connectors for the proper pinouts as shown in Chapter 2.

4.1.1Connecting Network Ports SEH-22 and SEH-24

You attach unshielded twisted pair segments to the RJ45 Network Ports on the front panel of the SEH. Each twisted pair port on the SEH incorporates a Polarity Detection and Correction feature. The Polarity Detection and Correction feature allows the SEH to pass data regardless of the polarity of the twisted pair segment’s receive link. Operating in this condition is not recommended and if this condition is discovered, the segment should be removed from the network and wired correctly by a technician.
