CHAPTER 5

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This chapter outlines the procedure for connecting the SEHI to a network. Ensure that the network meets the guidelines and requirements outlined in Chapter 3, Installation Requirements and Specifications, before installing the SEHI.

5.1CONNECTING THE SEHI TO THE NETWORK

The procedure for connecting network segments to the SEHI 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 connecting the SEHI to a network:

• Connecting Network Ports

Section 5.1.1

• Connecting a UTP segment to an EPIM-T

Section 5.1.2

• Connecting a fiber segment to an EPIM-F1/F2/F3

Section 5.1.3

• Connecting a Thin Coaxial Segment to an EPIM-C

Section 5.1.4

• Connecting an AUI cable to an EPIM-A

Section 5.1.5

• Connecting an AUI Cable to an EPIM-X

Section 5.1.6

5.1.1Connecting Network Ports

The SEHI-22FL has ST style network ports. Read the following guidelines before connecting a fiber optic link segment to the SEHI:

•Insert the connector into the port with the alignment key on the connector inserted into the alignment slot on the port. The connector is then turned clockwise to lock it down.

•The physical communication link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: the Transmit (TX) and the Receive (RX). Connect the TX strand from the applicable port on the module to the receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. The RX strand of the applicable port on the module connects to the transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet device.
