CHAPTER 5
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This chapter outlines the procedure for connecting the SEHI to a network. Ensure that the network meets the guidelines and requirements outlined in Chapter 3, Installation Requirements and Specifications, before installing the SEHI.
5.1CONNECTING THE SEHI TO THE NETWORK
The procedure for connecting network segments to the SEHI 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 SEHI to a network:
• | Network Ports | Section 5.1.1 |
• | Section 5.1.2 | |
• |
| 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 SEHI. Each twisted pair port on the SEHI incorporates a polarity detection and correction feature. The polarity detection and correction feature allows the SEHI 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 SEHI as follows:
1.Insert the RJ45 connector from each twisted pair segment into the desired network port on the SEHI. See Figure
