INTRODUCTION

The SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34 are functionally identical with the exception of the network ports:

SEHI-22, 12 RJ45 network ports and one EPIM port.

SEHI-24, 24 RJ45 network ports and two EPIM ports.

SEHI-32, one 50 pin Champ connector, providing 12 twisted pair segments, and one EPIM port.

SEHI-34, two 50 pin Champ connectors, providing 24 twisted pair segments, and two EPIM ports.

1.4SEHI FEATURES

Repeater Functionality

The SEHI fully conforms to the IEEE 802.3 Repeater, AUI, and 10BASE-T specifications, and provides the flexibility to connect networks using IEEE 802.3, Ethernet Version 1 or Version 2 equipment. The SEHI transmits re-timed data packets, regenerates the preamble, extends fragments, and arbitrates collisions.

The SEHI automatically partitions problem segments, and reconnects repaired segments to the network. This feature minimizes the impact on network operation resulting from a problem on one segment by isolating the problem segment. Only devices on the problem segment are affected. When the problem is solved, the SEHI automatically reconnects the isolated segment to the network.

Polarity Detection and Correction

Each twisted pair port on the SEHI incorporates a Polarity Detection and Correction feature that allows the SEHI to pass data regardless of the polarity of the twisted pair segment’s receive link. We do not recommend operating in this condition. If you discover this condition, remove the segment from the network and wire it correctly. This reduces the potential for problems if equipment changes are made.

Flash EEPROMs

The SEHI uses Flash EEPROMs that allow you to download new and updated firmware using Cabletron’s Remote LANVIEW/Windows, version 2.3 or later or any device using BOOTP or TFTP protocols.
