EPIM-C
The EPIM-C supports thin-net coaxial cabling and is equipped with an internal Cabletron Systems TMS-3™ Transceiver. You can use the TERM switch on the front of the EPIM-C to set the internal 50-ohm terminator. This eliminates the need to connect the port to a tee-connector and terminator. Figure A-5shows the setting for the terminator switch.
Internal Termination Switch
= On (internally terminated)
= Off (need external termination)

Connector Type
This connector type is a BNC receptacle, with gold center contact, for use with BNC type tee-connectors and RG-58 thin-net cable.
Grounding
For safety reasons, only one end of a thin-net segment should be connected to earth ground. Connection to earth ground at more than one point on the segment may cause dangerous ground currents.
The BNC port of the Coaxial Interface Modules is not connected to earth ground.
