3.9.5Connecting an AUI Cable to an EPIM-A

NOTE

Ensure that the external transceiver to which you connect the EPIM-A 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.

To connect an EPIM-A to an external network segment:

1.Check that the PWR LED on the EPIM-A is on. If the PWR LED is not on, contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support.

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

3.Attach an AUI cable, no longer than 50 meters in length, to the transceiver you connected to the network in step 2.

4.Connect the AUI cable to the AUI port located on the EPIM-A. (See Figure 3-15.)
