Transition Networks E-CX-MC02 Using the Coaxial Transceiver, Installation Notes, Troubleshooting

Using the Coaxial Transceiver

The TRANSITION Networks Ethernet™ Coaxial Transceiver can be attached to a PC or hub, using an IEEE 802.3 AUI drop cable.

SQE ON: Set the SQE jumper to ON when the Transceiver is connected to a terminal device.

SQE OFF: Set the SQE jumper to OFF when the Transceiver is connected to a hub or repeater.

AMP TAP

the SQE jumper in the default OFF position as shipped. ASSEMBLY

•Attach the AMP tap assembly to the transceiver assembly by

removing the two screws (shown) from the transceiver assembly, sliding the AMP tap assembly into the transceiver assembly, and then reinstalling the two screws.

If the Coaxial Transceiver fails, ask the following question:

1.Is the power LED on the Coaxial Transceiver illuminated?

NO

• Verify that AUI cables are IEEE 802.3

compliant.

• Verify that AUI cables are connected to

PC or hub.

• Verify that PC or hub connected to AUI

is powered ON. NOTE: Coaxial

• Connect the AMP tap assembly to the network:

TRANSCEIVER

Transceiver is powered by PC or hub.

Model MC02: The transceiver is attached to the thick coax via the AMP tap assembly, part number 228752-1. An AMP installation tool kit, part number 228917-1 is required. For complete installation instructions, read the instructions provided with the AMP coax tap kit. Failure to install the coax tap properly may cause damage to the transceiver and network.

YES

• Proceed to step 2.

2. Does Coaxial Transceiver provide access to

Model MC03: The transceiver is connected to thick coax through the attached female N connectors on the AMP tap assembly, part number 221914-1.

Model MC04: The transceiver is connected to the thin coax through the attached BNC T connector on the AMP tap assembly, part number 221918-1.

Model MC05: The transceiver is connected through the attached straight BNC connector on the AMP tap assembly, part

number 222455-1. NOTE: A BNC "T" connector and terminator (not included) is required.

•AUI drop cable assembly cannot exceed 50 meters (165 feet).

•When installing thin or thick coax cable, remember to install a 50 ohm terminator at each end of the segment. Be sure that one end of the segment is connected to earth ground.

network?

NO

• Verify that coaxial network segment is

properly terminated at each end with 50

ohm terminator.

• Verify that coaxial network segment is

properly grounded at one end.
