Appendix A: EPIM Information

A.1.4 EPIM-C

The EPIM-C supports thin coaxial cabling and is equipped with an internal Cabletron Systems TMS-3 Transceiver. Use the TERM switch on the front of the EPIM-C to set the internal 50-ohm terminator. This eliminates the need to connect the port to a T-connector and terminator. Figure A-4 shows the setting for the terminator switch.

Connector Type

BNC receptacle, with gold center contact, for use with BNC type T-connectors and RG58 thin coaxial cable.

Grounding

The BNC port of the Coaxial Interface Module is not connected to earth ground.

z

For safety, ground only one end of a thin coaxial segment. Do NOT connect EPIM BNC ports to earth ground. Connecting a thin coaxial segment to earth ground at more than one point can produce dangerous ground currents.
