CONNECTING THE BRIM TO THE NETWORK

3.1.2Connecting a Fiber Optic Link Segment to an EPIM-F1, EPIM-F2, or EPIM-F3

When connecting a fiber optic link segment to an EPIM-F1, F2, or F3 keep the following in mind:

•If you are connecting a fiber optic link segment with SMA 906 connectors to an EPIM-F1 with SMA ports, ensure that half alignment sleeves are in place on each connector. A full alignment sleeve will damage the receive port. SMA 905 connectors do not need alignment sleeves.

•If you are connecting a fiber optic link segment with ST connectors to an EPIM-F2 /F3 with ST ports, keep in mind that ST connectors attach to ST ports much like BNC connectors attach to BNC ports. 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 to lock it down.

•The physical communication link consists of two strands of fiber optic cabling: the Transmit (TX) and the Receive (RX). The Transmit strand from the applicable port on the module will be connected to the Receive port of a fiber optic Ethernet device at the other end of the segment. For example, TX of the applicable port on the module will go to RX of the other fiber optic device. The Receive strand of the applicable port on the module will be connected to the Transmit port of the fiber optic Ethernet device. For example, RX of the applicable port on the module will go to TX of the other fiber optic device.

We recommend that you label the fiber optic cable to indicate which fiber is Receive and which is Transmit. When you buy fiber optic cable from Cabletron Systems, it is labeled so that: at one end of the cable, one fiber is labeled 1, and the other fiber is labeled 2. This pattern is repeated at the other end of the cable. If you did not purchase your cable from Cabletron Systems, be sure you label your cable as described above.
