CHAPTER 5

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This chapter outlines the procedure for connecting the SEH to a network. Ensure that the network meets the guidelines and requirements outlined in Chapter 3, Installation Requirements and Specifications, before installing the SEH100TX-22.

5.1CONNECTING THE SEH100TX-22 TO THE NETWORK

The procedure for connecting network segments to the SEH varies depending on the media and ports being connected. Refer to the following list and perform the procedure described in the subsections that apply to connecting the SEH to a network:

•	Network Ports	Section 5.1.1
•	EPIM-100TX	Section 5.1.2

•EPIM-100FX or EPIM-100FMB Section 5.1.3

Prior to connecting the network cabling, check the connectors for the proper pinouts as shown in Chapter 3.

5.1.1Connecting to Network Ports

Attach UTP segments to the RJ45 network ports on the front panel of the SEH. Each RJ45 network port on the SEH incorporates a polarity detection and correction feature. The polarity detection and correction feature allows the SEH to pass data regardless of the polarity of the twisted pair segment’s receive link. Operating in this condition is not recommended; the segment should be removed from the network and wired correctly by a technician.

Connect the twisted pair segments to the SEH as follows:

1.Plug the RJ45 connector from each twisted pair segment into the desired network port on the SEH. See Figure 5-1.

2.Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end or the twisted pair segment into the other device as appropriate.
