EPIM Specifications
Introduction
The 9C300-1 Environmental Module provides a port for Cabletron Systems EPIMs. EPIMs let you connect to the main network using different media types. Cabletron Systems offers a variety of EPIMs whose specifications are explained in the following sections.
EPIM-T
The EPIM-T is an RJ-45 connector supporting UTP cabling. It has an internal Cabletron Systems TPT-T™ 10BASE-T Twisted Pair Transceiver.
The slide switch on the EPIM-T determines the crossover status of the cable pairs. If the switch is on the X side, the pairs are internally crossed over. If the switch is on the = side, the pairs are not internally crossed over. Figure A-1 shows the pinouts for the EPIM-T in both crossover positions.
Position X (crossed over)
1. RX+ | 5. NC |
2. RX- | 6. TX- |
3. TX+ | 7. NC |
4. NC | 8. NC |

Position = (not crossed over)
1. TX+ | 5. | NC |
2. TX- | 6. | RX- |
3. RX+ | 7. NC |
4. NC | 8. NC |
