A.6 THE 5 - 4 - 3 RULE

Between any two nodes (i.e., PCs or other stations) on the network, there can be:

Up to five segments in series

Up to four repeaters or multi-port hubs

Up to three populated segments (that is, segments attached to two or more PCs). The remaining two segments are unpopulated; these are known as inter-repeater links or IRLs. This distinction between populated and unpopulated segments is significant for coax networks only.

Note: This rule is completely consistent with the IEEE 802.3 specification, and is meant only to summarize the configuration specification.

A.7 EPIM-100FX SPECIFICATIONS

The ELS100-16TX uses a Ethernet Port Interface Module (EPIM) to provide front panel cable connections. FEPIMs are user-installable. See Section 2.2, Installing an EPIM.

The EPIM-100FX shown in Figure A-2 supports Multimode Fiber Optic cabling. The EPIM-100FX is equipped with an SC style connector.
