CHAPTER 3CONNECTING 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.
