3.5.4Connecting an AUI Segment to an EPIM-X or

EPIM-A

NOTE

Ensure that the external transceiver to which the EPIM-A connects does not have the signal quality error (SQE or “heartbeat”) test function enabled. The EPIM does not operate if the transceiver has the SQE test function enabled. Refer to the applicable transceiver manual for additional information.

Attach an external transceiver to the network segment intended for AUI port connection. For additional information, refer to the applicable transceiver manual.

Attach an AUI cable, no longer than 50 meters in length, to the external transceiver.

1.Align the DB15 connector of the AUI cable with the AUI port of the EPIM as shown in Figure 3-9. The port will only connect if it is properly aligned.

2.Firmly press the AUI connector over the AUI port. If there is a slide latch present for the AUI connector, slide it over the locking posts on the DB15 port.
