CHAPTER 3
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This chapter describes how to connect the following standard network cable types to the BRIM-T6:
•Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
•Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
•Fiber Optic
NOTE: Remember that the BRIM-T6 is designed and configured for connection to network concentrator Station ports only.
3.1 CONNECTING STP SEGMENTS
Both the TPIM-T1 and the TPIM-T4 support connection to STP cable segments. The TPIM-T1 provides a DB9 interface, and the TPIM-T4 provides an RJ45 interface (see Appendix A for pinouts).
To connect an STP segment to a TPIM-T1 or a TPIM-T4, insert the DB9 or RJ45 connector into its corresponding TPIM port as shown in Figure 3-1.
